NARRATOR: Right now on a live edition of "Big Brother," who
will be banished, plus which former houseguest goes back
into the house later this week?
The current houseguests choose just one tonight.
It's all happening right now on "Big Brother."
[theme music]
Hi.
I'm Julie Chen.
George, Jamie, Eddie, and Curtis are marked
for banishment and tonight one of them
will leave the Big Brother house.
But that's not all.
Former houseguests Brittany, Cassandra, Jordan, Karen,
or Will-Mega may be going in.
Let's check in with the houseguests
and find out what they have to say about that.
Hi, everyone.
Hi, Julie.
How is everyone doing tonight?
Just great.
JULIE: George, George, George.
I'm not hastling you, Julie.
OK?
JULIE: I'm going to get to you in a minute, George.
But I want to ask Jamie a question.
Because everyone knows we're getting down to the wire,
right? - Yeah.
JULIE: And Jamie, this was the first time you've ever
been marked for banishment.
Yeah.
JULIE: How did it feel?
It's not one of my favorite moments.
But it's-- I guess it's good to go through, you know.
It's part of the experience here.
So--
JULIE: Eddie described it to you once
as being kind of, you know, an exciting process to go through.
Right.
JULIE: Do you agree with him on that?
Yeah, I haven't eaten much today.
My heart-- my stomach is like all
upset and my heart's-- yeah, definitely.
JULIE: Well, George?
Yes, Julie.
JULIE: Well first of all, explain the outfit to me.
Julie, I'm going for the refreshing look tonight.
Put it that way.
So if I come out and meet you, I've got
new clothes on for you too, OK?
JULIE: I'm thinking of "Animal House."
[laughs]
I don't fit into that part, Julie.
JULIE: And George, I noticed that you
put up some signs in the house?
[laughs]
Now--
Yeah, Julie, I'm kind of unemployed at this point
right now.
So--
JULIE: We're-- we're panning over to those signs.
Now, let's start at the top.
It says, Chicken George needs a job.
Yeah.
JULIE: For sale-- how much for the--
how much for the ' Ford pickup?
Very reasonable, Julie.
It has four flat tires and it sits at home
right now, very reasonable.
JULIE: Did you make those signs because you think
you're coming out tonight?
I think the chicken man's got that feeling he's
going to fly the coop tonight, yep.
JULIE: Well, George, I want to ask you
about how you dealt with the fact
that all of your fellow housemates nominated you.
You know, I had such a terrible week that week.
And that was the first big laugh I got to laugh at all week
long.
I loved it.
I had no problems with it whatsoever.
Because it made me laugh.
I totally enjoyed it and it was totally cool.
JULIE: You handled it well.
No problems at all, guys.
JULIE: Now houseguests, you all know
that the only person assured of staying in the house tonight
is Josh.
Are the rest of you ready for possible banishment?
Let's rock.
JULIE: All right.
Well, we'll get to that later.
But right now we have a very interesting challenge for you.
Now as you know, the banishment process
sends someone out of the house.
Well, we want to send someone in.
And that someone is Will-Mega, Jordan--
Jordan, Karen, Brittany or Cassandra.
This will be your chance to talk to one of them,
ask any questions you want.
You can find out what they've been
up to since being banished.
You can even ask that person about the outside world,
basically anything you want.
Whoa.
How, for how much time? - How long do you get them for?
JULIE: All right.
You guys are getting ahead of yourselves here.
Now before anyone can say, what's the catch, here it is.
You must choose which former houseguest will
come back for a short visit.
Now, to help you decide we've asked each of them
to tell you why he or she should be the one.
So would everyone please face the monitor
and in the spirit of this election
year, just think of what you're about to see as campaign
commercials from the former houseguests.
Take a look.
Hey guys.
I was the last one to leave you and I probably
have the freshest view of what life is like on the outside,
what the reaction is, what the public is thinking about us,
about you.
I'd love to come back and tell you about it.
She looks good.
Hey everyone, it's Karen.
Looks like your meals need a special touch.
Pick me and I'll come in and I'll cook enough food to last
the remainder of your stay.
You pick the menu and I will cook the food of your dreams.
I love you and I miss you.
Get ready for Karen's cooking marathon.
Hope to see you soon.
Why me?
Because I've been out the house the longest.
So I know all the details.
I can tell you about everything that's going on out here.
Plus, unlike the other houseguests,
I have no hard feelings.
I didn't belong to any clique.
And most of all, I can tell each one of you what you
need to know in order to win.
So bring back the mega-man.
[cheer]
Hey, guys.
I've heard you talking about the show and how you think of this.
You have no idea how over-the-top out-of-control
huge this show is.
Three letters describe my status right now, V-I-P. It's amazing.
I'm in the next "Mission Impossible " with Tom Cruise.
I met Clinton last weekend.
He's a die-hard fan.
Next week I'm getting my own star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
It's absolutely a dream come true.
So don't worry about the prize.
Because we're all major celebrities and we're
set for life.
So I'm just happy for all of us, and I miss
you guys, especially Eddie.
[cheers]
Hello?
Do you miss me?
Well your families don't.
Because I call them all the time.
They have messages for you.
And I know what's going on with the planes.
I didn't send any.
But I know who did and why.
And OK, you guys, you need to cheer up.
You're a little bit boring at times.
We have a week left, one week to be happy and fix your mistakes.
Oh, you people need my help so bad
that I tried to break back in and got busted.
Oh, I need a red room session.
[laughs]
She's hilarious.
Oh, my god.
All right, houseguests.
Well, it's now up to you.
Talk it over.
Take your time.
And I'll be back in a little while for your decision.
I don't care.
I think Cassandra would be the most articulate.
Cassandra too.
Cassandra will know what's going on.
She knows what's happening.
She'd give us--
Cassandra or Brit, it's my cool.
I say-- I say--
I say Brit.
You guys all say Cassandra?
Cassandra, because she would know the most.
- Let's go with majority. - Cassandra.
- Cassandra it is. - Cassandra it is.
Yeah.
I agree.
OK.
Oh, I want to see Brit.
She looks so good.
She looks great.
We'll see everybody in just a little bit.
Hey, don't eat that, man, come on.
Don't eat that. It's plastic.
It don't work.
Cassandra would know the most.
Hey guys, after watching that, Brit
is so making it in Hollywood.
She looks great. - She's hilarious.
She's hilarious.
Where do you think them pictures were done at?
At their homes, I think.
Yeah, their houses, I think.
I think that's where they all are.
Oh, I can't wait to see Jordan.
[kiss]
You don't think she's doing any of that, do you?
Oh, no.
She's totally yanking us.
She's funny.
JULIE: All right, houseguests, it looks
like you've made your decision. - Yep.
JULIE: Cassandra? Is that correct, everyone?
Yeah. JULIE: OK.
Well, she will join you in the house, but not tonight.
OK.
And by the way, Jordan was just being Jordan,
and really wanted to go back into the house
so she took a little bit of artistic license
when she pitched her campaign for going back in.
And we'll be right back.
NARRATOR: Still ahead, the aerial onslaught continues.
Find out who's behind the banners.
It's sort of like a feeding frenzy.
Everybody wanted to get a banner out over the compound.
NARRATOR: Don't go away.
We're just getting started.
[music playing]
Welcome back.
There's no doubt that the banners in the sky
have greatly altered the dynamics in the house.
Now "Big Brother" has nothing to do with those banners.
But as we've discovered, there are faces
behind those inanimate objects.
Here's a closer look at what the houseguests call the sky.
[plane engine]
Right here.
The first person that contacted me with regards
of running a banner over the Big Brother
house was an individual who runs a website called,
BanishGeorge.com.
[laughs]
Wow.
They want me gone.
Back to the old days, they used
to have smoke from the mountain tops
as the tribes would talk to each other.
Now they have aerial banners that
talk to tribes, if you will, that are inside the Big Brother
compound.
The idea of sending the banner just
came from watching the many banners being flown over.
And we figured, well, we can do it too.
And maybe get a positive message in the house.
The banner plane was $ for an hour flight.
Thank you, mommy.
I love you.
Her reaction when she saw it, the excitement, the smile;
if you know Jamie you could tell that she was--
she was in seventh heaven.
It was sort of like a feeding frenzy.
Everybody wanted to get a banner out over the compound.
The pool is jet-powered.
I still didn't have the urge to send a banner.
There was no reason to.
Until I actually saw that it was going to walk with George.
At that time I was panicked.
Because he seemed very unstable to me at the time.
Mick, that's my mom.
When he saw the first sign he seemed a little happy at first.
But then he kind of disregarded it
and said, no, too many people know about those name.
If it's my mom, I want to see the name
my grandfather used to call me when I was a baby, Champ.
It just says Champ, Mick says Stay.
I know exactly what it means.
You know--
You do, Eddie?
The one personal banner that I stuck in was for Jamie.
It says, Jamie this is for you.
Smile.
Now, that's a nice airplane, guy.
I wanted to jack up her spirits up a little bit.
I would love to give him hints or say things to him
on how to act or who to vote.
But that wouldn't really be playing fair.
And I know one thing, if Eddie's going to win this game,
he wants to win it fair and square.
It's like you're part of the never-ending tale,
if you will, of Big Brother.
It was kind of a kick.
Joining us now is our health and relationship
specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Welcome Dr. Drew.
Thank you, Julie.
Now on Saturday night, George got four nominations.
It was no secret that everyone in the house nominated him.
They were all exposed.
How uncomfortable was that for the houseguests?
Yeah, exposed is really the word, isn't it?
They were-- you know actually I went back
and I reviewed some of the red room tapes
to see what their feelings were about nominating George.
And they all expressed regret at having to nominate anyone,
but several of them mentioned George specifically.
And now here they were, in fact, exposed.
But god bless George.
He really grasped the irony of the moment and the humor in it
and had a good laugh on their--
at their expense, frankly.
But it was a moment that could have been much more intense
and much more painful for them.
They seemed more uncomfortable than he was with that.
Oh yeah. He got a good laugh out of it.
And talk about the cat that ate the mouse.
They all looked so guilty for those few minutes.
I know, some more than others a little bit.
Now earlier in tonight's broadcast,
we gave the houseguests a choice of which former house
mate they want to let back in.
What do you think of their decision on picking Cassandra?
I really expected them to pick Cassandra.
It seemed to me that Brittany and Cassandra
were the two they had most difficulty saying goodbye to.
So I expected those two names to come up.
But they've been making very interesting
choices, choices that tend to stabilize the house.
And they're still kind of stinging after the influence
of Brittany on Josh.
They remember that it tended to destabilize the house.
And Cassandra is the person that they go to for stabilization,
information they can rely on, and they want to hear from her.
Although Brittany wanted--
I mean Eddie wanted Brittany.
That didn't surprise me at all.
Brit-- I'm telling you, Eddie really missed Brittany.
When she left, the pain that-- that he was expressing I
think it was very intense.
And I wasn't surprised-- and he by the way,
doesn't care that she would destabilize.
He just wants to see--
it's game on for him.
He wants to play the game.
Now we haven't told them when Cassandra
will be reentering the house.
And when she does go in, how do you think
they're going to react to her?
Well, of course, they'll be delighted to see her.
But I think the more interesting phenomena will be in the hours
and days to come, when the sort of infectious influence
of the outside world is again felt. And I think some of them
are going to be relieved to hear how the world perceives them,
and some of them may be a little deflated and disappointed.
What they don't know is that Cassandra,
since being banished, she has decided not to watch the show
and not to watch all the tapes of back episodes
we've given her.
Because she wants-- well A, I want to know what do you think
of her decision to do that.
I think I'm in love with Cassandra.
That's what I think.
I think she--
JULIE: You respect her decision?
Oh, she went in there, her values intact,
with her integrity.
She went to have a very specific experience.
She had a complete experience.
And that was enough for her.
She didn't want to go back and tarnish and adulterate
it by looking at video.
She knows what she experienced and that was enough for her.
But they don't know she hasn't.
Do you think they're going to be disappointed?
Oh, no.
I don't think so.
I think they'll admire her decision.
And she's going to get plenty-- she'll
have plenty of information to give them, I'm sure.
JULIE: Yes, I think you're right.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, thank you so much.
Well, now for more about Cassandra, on Sunday
her friends and family in New York City
gave her a welcome home party.
And we were on the guest list.
[music playing]
[cheers]
I'm still getting adjusted to being out in the real world.
But it's great to know that my friends and family
are here to support me.
They kind of helped me stay grounded
and it's good to see them.
[interposing voices]
For me, just being able to control my own destiny,
decide what time I'm going to wake up
and when I'm going to eat and what I'm going to eat,
it's so great, and actually just to be
able to walk down the street, you know,
with my friends and my mom.
It's terrific.
I love it.
You know I'll sign for you.
Oh, it's been a whirlwind media blitz.
And now I'm looking forward to spending some time with her.
Still a classy woman.
Can't spell class without Cass.
I am so proud of her.
She just did a wonderful job.
And it's just so emotional when she walked out of the house,
I just felt as though a piece of myself had returned.
I wish for you that you will always
have as much love around you as there is in this room today.
Cheers.
[music playing]
Welcome back.
Joining us now is our America Online
internet advisor, Regina Lewis.
Welcome, Regina. - Thanks.
JULIE: Now you predicted that things
were going to heat up online, as we approached the final weeks.
Is that proving to be the case? - Absolutely.
It's getting bigger by the minute.
There are more people online doing more and more things.
And they're getting pretty creative.
Tonight we thought we'd take a look at a few more fan pages.
And when you see these you might think, well, I'm not a techie.
I could never do that.
But on an American Online, we've made it really easy.
Just go to the Big Brother area.
Follow the step-by-step instructions,
and in a matter of minutes, you can have your own fan page.
This one's by Andrea and Cody.
They are and years old.
They live in Madison, Wisconsin.
And their fan page is themed to the "Brady
Bunch," hence the squares.
And it's really worth checking out.
They have the Brady Bunch theme song.
They put themselves in the middle.
Yeah, the whole nine yards.
And those two keep up with the show
by watching the webcast during their lunch hour.
The next one is about Jamie, all things Jamie,
everything you ever wanted to know and more,
down to interesting tidbits, like the fact
that her favorite dessert is bubble gum flavor ice-cream.
That used to be mine too. what do you know?
I mean, who knew?
Right, exactly.
Now also this week AOL has conducted, as always, a poll.
And the question and the results are--
Well, the question we asked is the one
the houseguests are asking.
What's my career opportunity following the show.
So we asked the people online, who do you think
has the best shot at a career in show business.
% said Brittany, who already has
a contract with a talent agent.
% said Jamie.
We know she has her heart set on Hollywood.
And % said Josh.
Everybody else was in single digits.
Josh has a big following with teen girls.
So they're hoping he will pursue
an acting career probably.
And my favorite part of the segment
is what was the online hosting of the week.
Well, our favorite is probably an unlikely scenario,
but an interesting idea.
Someone suggested put Gore and Bush in the house.
Give them equal time and we'll see what
their character is really like.
Something tells me they are not going to do that.
Thank you, Regina.
Now, when you have a house full of different characters,
you're bound to wind up with a lot of laughter.
And this house is no exception.
Finishing up dishes.
[laughs]
Take off, take off.
[laughs]
[laughs]
Sick!
Oh.
[laughs]
[screams]
[laughs]
I can't do it.
OK, you're just spitting.
I can't do it through my teeth.
See George?
I don't know how to do that.
How does she do that?
I can cook more.
[laughs]
Pizza.
It's good.
You can't have any.
Look at me when I'm talking to you.
Don't [muted] turn your face from me.
Karen!
Oh, my god!
Stop it!
[laughs]
[coughing]
We have to find something that funny every day from here
on out, OK?
Yeah, well.
Is that a plan?
It really never started off to be that funny, but--
All right.
It's time to announce tonight's banishment.
So let's go back into the house.
Hi, everyone.
Hello there.
Well, George, Jamie, Eddie, Curtis; one of you
will be leaving the house.
And I have the results of the voting now.
Jamie, you had % of the votes.
Curtis, you had %.
Good job, Curtis.
JULIE: Eddie--
I'm gone.
JULIE: %.
And George, %.
That means George, you've been banished.
That's OK.
JULIE: You know the drill.
You have two minutes to say your goodbyes.
Come on over here, guys.
All right.
Good job.
Good luck, guys.
Good luck.
George-- take care, chicken man.
Good luck.
Good luck.
My pleasure.
You guys have all been cool.
You guys have all been cool.
Good luck.
You guys take care.
[laughs]
Oh, what a day to dress up, huh?
[laughs]
I'm going to grab the--
You guys have all been cool.
Yeah.
I mean I really do mean it.
OK?
And I'll see you guys all in the finish line, Sunday.
All right.
Come on, baby.
It's not time to go yet.
And I knew--
I knew I was gone, so.
OK?
Can you carry everything, George?
So you got everything?
Yep.
You OK, chicken man?
Yeah.
We'll see you guys later. - We're yelling to your, George.
- Be good, George. - Bye.
- Take care, man. - Take care, Buddy.
Give my best to the kids and Teresa.
Hey. Remember what I said.
You guys have all been cool. - All right.
Thanks, George. You be good.
Give my love to Teresa, all right?
Yep. You guys have all been cool.
- Love you, George. - Good-bye, chicken man.
We love you.
Be good, bro.
What a day to dress up, boys!
[laughs] How are you guys, doing?
[cheers]
What a day to dress, everybody.
What a day to dress up!
Hi, everybody.
[crying]
How are you guys, doing?
- So good. - Are you OK?
Yes.
Everything, OK?
Yeah, you did so good, dad.
How you guys doing?
[cheers]

Everything OK?
Yes.
Everything is fine.
- Everything OK? - Mom's here.
She's inside. - Everything's OK?
Yeah, Diane's here too.
Everything is OK?
- Yeah. - Nothing bad?
Nothing, nothing.
You sure?
No, it's all good.
You did so good.
[cheers]
Thank you very much, everybody!
OK, George.
Go ahead and leave your luggage and come with me.
OK.
Can you guys go?
Should I change?
No, no. Come one with me.
We gotta go. George, we gotta go.
Everything is-- trust me.
Is everything OK?
Everything is fine.
Everything is fine.
[cheers]
I don't know what to say, everybody.
What's that?
I told you you didn't have to worry.
[yells]
Jeez, the woman at the very top of the building.
Do you see her?
She's yelling for-- she's yelling, George.
WOMAN [YELLING IN DISTANCE]: We love, George!
That's great.
She got past security, obviously.
And by me speaking about her, I think
she's probably going to get busted
and fired, but way to go.
That's awesome though.
God, do you hear them yelling for him?
That's awesome.
WOMAN [YELLING IN DISTANCE]: George!
George.
The house that the kids built. Damn kids.
Oh my god.
All the adults are gone.
Damn, kids.
Were staying up late now.
Yeah!
God help you.
I'm the senior authority figure.
Oh, jeez.
Curtis is our-- Curtis is our elder.
Great.
Lord, have mercy on the house.
Now, listen to Curtis.
I am the senior adult here.
Oh my.
Oh, my gosh.
What a day to dress yup, huh boys?
Pagita, come on!
Baby, be good.
Yeah, you know better.
Come on.
You're going in.
You're going in, come on.
Yo Mickey!
You're going in.
Come on.
Go, go, go.
You know better.
That's interesting.
So Illinois must have came after me.
I was right then.
Huh?
Illinois.
Mickey!
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
We just suck at MCs.
You got no flow.
He seemed all right, didn't he?
Yeah.
He seemed very good.
OK.
WOMAN [YELLING IN DISTANCE]: Eddie, we love you!
Hey.
[howl]
[cheers]
Come on.
Come on.
Hi, everybody!
Hi, everybody.
Hi, everybody.
Hi, Julie.
How you doing?
You've got someone else who wants to see you.
[yells]
[crying]
We're not.
We're not.
We're not.
You've done great.
[inaudible] you came!
[inaudible]
George, it's fantastic.
Oh, man.
The kids are all alone.
Don't be upset.
Don't be upset.
We're not.
We'll let George enjoy his reunion.
But when we come back, we'll show
him what he looked like on TV.
Stay with us.
[music playing]
[cheers]
Welcome back.
We are here with George, the sixth person to be banished
from the Big Brother house.
This crowd is going wild for you, George.
Now before I start asking you questions,
I'm going to thank Teresa, her sister,
your three lovely daughters for coming
in from Rockford, Illinois.
George, first of all, is that toga secure?
Everything secure?
I got three pairs of underwear on.
Believe me.
You know, you weren't supposed to take anything from the Big
Brother house when you left.
But we figured we'll make an exception this time.
It's fine, Julie.
How are you feeling, George?
It's wonderful to be outside, I have to tell you.
It is absolutely wonderful.
I left behind some of the finest group of people I could--
I've ever associated with.
These people were absolutely fantastic to me.
And as I sit here today, I am just really glad that I
was able to make it this far.
And I have no--
I'm just very, very happy just to have made it this far.
You know what?
You have no--
I have no regrets about doing some parts of it.
Well, wait till we show you what you did.
You might-- I'm kidding.
I am kidding.
Now are you surprised to be sitting here tonight with me?
No.
You expected it?
That's why you made the signs? - Yeah.
I kind of--
I kind of--
I kind of knew that probably tonight was my--
Why?
Why did you think?
You know how sometimes you just get them feelings?
And I just knew that yeah, probably my time was coming.
And I was expecting to come, yes.
And it was fine though.
It was a very, very interesting experience for me,
put it that way.
But yes, it's fine.
I'm glad to see you smiling.
Now I have to ask you, in the beginning, when you first
went into the house and you first saw the nine others
you would be living with--
Yes.
You were like oh, I get it.
I'm the old geezer.
You seemed somewhat uncomfortable with the fact
that you were the oldest one that you
thought you might not fit in.
Did that change?
Oh, after about two weeks, maybe , and /,
weeks; them people adapted to me so well.
And I also was able to adapt to them .
The younger people accepted me so unbelievably well.
I also was able to adapt to them and also to become young again.
I felt like I was in my s the whole while I was there.
And it was wonderful to be that way.
That's for sure.
Well, your time in the house you
gave us viewers many, many special memorable moments.
Thank you.
We picked a few of them to put together.
Oh, no.
So you could see what you looked like on TV to us.
So take a look right here.
OK Oh, no!
[clucking]
Oh, my god!
I can put away some-- little extra
for you or something like that.
I know.
No, that's fine, George.
Thank you.
But you're a good-- like I say,
Eddie, no matter what happens, you're an all right, dude.
Thanks, George.
You don't think this looks too revealing, do you?
This was a sad part for me.
"Even though we miss you, we are behind you %
to go the distance."
Thank you guys, for your time.
Let me see your picture.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
I--
Big Brother, Big Brother, won't you jump in?
George [inaudible] chicken and Jamie was--
oh, no.
That's OK.
You failed the challenge.
What's involved with the voluntary exit?
That isn't fun, what happened to me today.
George, the platinum blond.
I kind of like it.
And we will take back to the East.
As time goes on, the more and more people--
[laughs]
Shut it Eddie, I ain't gonna take it.
[laughs]
Uh, excuse me.
I hope I did the right thing, Teresa.
George, is backstabbing you--
All right.
Now he's starting to piss me off.
Let him fly his damn planes.
Because I'm starting to get pissed now.
I'm a lot stronger than a damn airplane, man.
And I'm not quitting.
Every time I go Chicken George, you go--
[clucking]
If we all walk out as one, we're all winners.
You don't know it you guys.
But we get a chance to make history here.
My decision influenced two other peoples in this house.
I had no right to do that.
OK, the chicken-man is staying.
I'm afraid when I'm going to leave here,
I'm gonna to be living on another planet.
So I'm getting prepared ahead of time.
[laughs]
Oh, no!
The many looks of George.
You had so many different-- you had more looks than Madonna.
What did you think?
It was great.
Yeah.
It was-- as long as these guys could live with me, I'm fine.
They were laughing all the way.
I'm fine, no problems at all.
Is that what you imagined yourself looking like on TV
to the viewers?
Somewhat, yes.
Yes.
Not really, no.
Now, do you have any regrets?
Let's come back to that question.
Yes, I do. JULIE: No.
No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Everything I did I loved.
And I enjoyed myself, you guys.
JULIE: Favorite moment in the house?
Oh, there was there was so--
favorite moment of the house?
Um, golly, there were so many of them, one in particularly,
I don't even want to go there.
Because was just so many of them at this time.
JULIE: OK. Fair enough.
Early on, when you had to make your nominations
in the red room, you gave what seemed
to be inconsequential reasons.
For example, you nominated Curtis one
time because he asked you not to double-dip the taco chip.
Don't dip the chip, yeah.
You nominated Brittany one time
because she asked you to step aside so she could watch
the sumo wrestling going on.
That is correct.
Were those the real reasons?
With Curtis, it was the only thing I could--
I could think of.
And he changed.
And that's why with-- with the voting that's why--
I noticed he was changing to try and please us
and trying to adapt to--
into the environment to what he was into.
With Brittany, when I did nominate
her that was the only thing I had to work with, you guys.
JULIE: Because you liked everyone that much
or because those things really irked you?
It was just one of them things that stood out
at the time is all that-- is all that
ended up happening with it.
Yeah.
And that's-- that's basically it, yeah.
George, we got to talk about the big rebellion.
Because you were the leader of the pack.
OK.
You-- first of all, why did you wake
up one morning and suggest to the others
that everyone walk out?
Well for one thing, we had that first plane
that was flying over.
And the first plane the banner said what?
It was is like nine--
nine winners, one loser, or something like that.
It was weird message--
cryptic message.
Yeah.
And I got to thinking about that.
And I got to thinking, well, maybe--
maybe this is what this actually was all about.
And also I got to thinking, well, what maybe a cool thing
it would have been.
But I probably would have blown your television show.
But--
Well it sounded like at one point
that's what you wanted to do.
That's why I'm sitting here, huh?
[laughs]
No, but you didn't know who was behind those banners.
I mean, did you think CBS was behind them?
At one point, yes.
You know, because you have-- you guys--
you guys don't understand what it's like to be in there.
Because you have no information whatsoever.
And information that you do have,
you have to take it in and try and digest it
and so on and so forth.
That was the only thing we had to work with.
JULIE: But what did you think you were going to accomplish,
by having everyone walk out?
Did you really think everyone was going to get--
Yes, I did.
You thought everyone's going to get half a million
if you all did that?
I really-- because I remember talking to Cassandra
and Cassandra was saying there was another--
in another country, there was a part in there where they
were talking to somebody and there
was something that was missing.
So I was thinking well maybe this was the extra part that
was missing.
But no, I know that's not true.
And I'm glad for these other people
that we did stay here, yes.
JULIE: Well, George stay right there.
Because when we come back, we'll hear
more from the houseguest who called himself the chicken man.
Stay with the us.
[laughs]
[music playing]
Welcome back.
We're here talking with George, the latest houseguest
to be banished from Big Brother.
Oh, what an honor!
[laughs]
You're a hero tonight to us.
OK.
During the commercial break, we
should tell our viewers you were so worked up,
because you were talking to your family about certain red room
sessions that you had with one of our story editors,
who kept asking you about, what's this plan.
Oh, this plan.
This plan, this plan, this plan.
Well we should explain.
Because when you had that second conversation
with Teresa, she made a reference to the plan
that you made is working.
Right.
And she was referring to--
To keep my grass cut, to keep my house, to keep my house up,
or to keep some of my bills paid.
And these guys think I got some diabolical plan to win
all this money and everything.
And I'm trying to tell this guy, I don't have a plan.
Every single day he's on me about this plan!
And I'm trying to tell him, I don't have a plan!
And he just--
And I-- I don't know what I could do just to tell him.
So he got me so frustrated.
And I-- Teresa tell them.
Tell them I didn't have a plan!
That was the plan.
The plan was to cut the grass.
A guy who comes out in a toga does not have a plan.
[laughs] Gosh sakes.
All right.
On that note, let me ask you.
Has the Big Brother experience changed you?
I mean here you are, in a situation--
Oh, yeah.
[laughs]
I think that the answer is obvious.
Let me tell everybody that applies
for an ad in a newspaper.
OK?
Read the fine print before you do it.
You said you had no regrets.
You said you had no regrets--
I don't have no regrets, put it that way.
And here you were put in a situation you would
have never been in before.
You're living with a bunch of -something year olds.
Correct.
You're dying your hair.
You're putting on makeup.
Do you like it?
Well, does Teresa like it?
Yeah, I do.
I do like it, actually.
It would work very well in this town.
OK.
You know, you're putting on makeup.
And by the way--
Oh, this town too.
Jamie has got nothing on you when you put on makeup, OK?
I mean, did this whole experience
change you as a person?
It made me feel so much younger.
And in my life-- is I've not had--
I haven't had much time to--
my life has been devoted to taking care of my family
and working.
I have never had an experience to do like this wild and crazy
stuff that I got to do.
OK?
I had a chance to do something, you guys.
And for the moments that I was there,
is I tried to live them to the fullest.
And yes, I got waxed many different times.
OK?
And it's the only way you can put it.
And I had some real heartache in there.
JULIE: We saw that, for example, recently reacting
to an anti-George banner.
You said that you thought you might be
the most hated man in America.
Oh, I did man.
I was afraid to come out of that place.
JULIE: That is not the case.
As a matter of fact, you have many fans out there.
And this is proof.
Take a look.
OK.
[cheers]
CROWD: Go George, Go!
Go George, Go!
George! George!
George!
[laughs]
Here's a key to the city.
I want you all to come back, please,
and we'll do this again.
George, if you could be here and know a lot
of people that support you.
[laughs]
Five of us got our trucks together, our cars together.
We thought we had-- tried to think of something
that George would have done.
Unless somebody shows it to me on video,
I don't know if I can believe what I just witnessed.
Hi, George!
Welcome to George Day!
Go George, we love you!
Crew time!
[laughs]
JULIE: What did you think of that show of support?
Thank you.
You were in Texas?
No wonder they're thinking about a plan.
Oh, god.
Surprised by that show of support?
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
Oh, we have a lot to talk about.
JULIE: Is that the plan you're going to be talking about?
Who do you think will win?
Um, I'll let you guys know.
Yeah.
Who do you want to see win?
Who do you think will win?
He's going to have a struggle.
OK, but--
He meaning?
You guys know that I've been with somebody
from the beginning.
Eddie?
I can't imagine what's gone on in his life to--
with-- you know, with his leg and everything else like that.
And I'm not being sympathetic or nothing else like that.
But I can't imagine the pain and everything else
that he's had to endure and he's still
able to keep up that attitude, like nothing
is going to stop him.
Nothing is going to get him down.
And I've been with him from the beginning.
And I hope Eddie takes it all.
Put it that way.
JULIE: Are you going to vote?
Of course.
JULIE: Well, Teresa's got a phone line--
I'm kidding.
I am kidding, Teresa.
Yes, but I hope Eddie does take it all.
And like I say, I voted for him from the beginning.
But you found out Saturday night that he nominated you,
and you guys did bond in the beginning.
So how--
That was OK.
It was fine.
JULIE: Did you ever ask him about that?
There was-- there was--
no.
And he never-- he never come back to me why he voted for me.
But I'm sure you guys caught that where I went into the room
that night, and I said, Eddie, it was OK what you did.
Because, you know, he come out he
told me Thursday night that--
and I knew what-- what he was referring to.
That he was going to-- he has a strategy.
And part of his strategy was probably to knock me out,
you know, to get me out of the way.
And-- but that's OK.
That's fine with me.
And when they all nominated me for that evening,
you guys don't know what I was going through in there.
Because it's so hard to explain unless you're
actually in there.
But when I knew that they had all nominated me that night,
I did not take it personally at all, you guys.
And you want to know truthfully?
It made me laugh.
JULIE: And we-- and we saw that.
And it made me happy.
And that is so-- you guys don't know how
important that is in my life.
Because I have a real hard time dealing with sadness
and everything else like that.
But that was one of the--
that was a very happy moment for me.
Well George, stay right there.
Because when we come back, we'll give
George a chance to say final goodbyes
to his former housemates.
We'll be right back.
[music playing]
Welcome back.
Well, George, you spent days of your life living
with these people, bonding with them.
This is your chance to say a final goodbye.
Hang on there.
OK.
Houseguests, I have a surprise for everyone.
So--
Hey everybody!
Look at the monitor, though.
Turn around.
Eddie and Josh, just turn around and look at the monitor.
Eddie, put your head up!
Chicken man!
Hey, everybody!
What's up?
It's totally cool, man.
Everything is fine.
And you guys would be totally happy once you get out of here.
Believe me.
Trust me.
Everything is totally fine.
Hey, George, you're in a toga.
But once again everybody, it's really neat out here.
You guys, I can't tell you much.
But you guys are not going to believe what's happening.
OK.
And the chicken man wishes you all the best.
And I thank you all for making me such a good friend
in all of your lives.
You guys have been very, very special to me.
And you guys will always have a special place in my heart.
And I thank you very much for that.
And you don't know what that means to me.
And I think all of you do know what it means to me.
That's about all I have to say to each and every one of you.
We love you, George.
George, you're the best.
Be good, chicken man.
JULIE: We are out of time.
We are out of time.
Take care, everybody!
JULIE: Good night, houseguests.
Hopefully I'll see you guys soon.
- Love you, George. - Bye!
Love you, George.
Well George, what's next for you?
I am going to have something decent to eat.
[laughs]
In this town, you can definitely find that.
You gonna go back to Rockford, go back to roofing,
your roofing company?
That's pretty much done, yeah.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
You pushed my job advertisement though.
JULIE: I did?
Would you consider moving to LA and pursuing
a career in-- in Hollywood?
I have no career in acting, believe me.
[laughs]
Some may, you know, have a different opinion about that.
Well one last thing--
Yes?
We got a phone call today from the educators
at Southern Vermont College.
They knew about your concerns about sending
Jessica off to college.
And they have offered a full four-year scholarship
for any one of your daughters.
I know Jessica is in her senior year of high school.
They're offering it to whichever daughter you choose.
And you have seconds to choose which daughter.
I'm kidding.
Oh, I'd have thought out my greatest toast.
Be well.
Take care of yourself.
We'll see you Monday on "The Early Show."
That's it for us tonight.
Don't forget to watch tomorrow and Friday
and join us live on Saturday for our final nominations show.
And stay tuned for Cassandra's return
to the Big Brother house.
I'm Julie Chen.
Have a great night.
But I hate just looking at it man, it kind of depresses me.
It reminds me of what you're missing.
Hey, that chicken got out.
I'll put him away.
No, Pagita.
Stay, babe.
Stay.
They've gotta give me one of these.
Sony, I need a TV.
Here, dude.
Come on, slacker.
It's not even moving.
The wheels have got to turn over.
There we go.
Yeah, of course Pagita comes by.
She's going to get crushed.
Big Brother, you want to open a storage room?
We'll put it in?
Or not.
OK.
Come on in.
Thanks dude.
