[bunniefuu]

ANNOUNCER: Right now on a live edition of "Big Brother,"

the final nominations.

Now the trick is not to get nominated next round.

ANNOUNCER: Who will be the last to be marked?

Plus, former Houseguest Cassandra returns to the house.

What will the Houseguests hear?

And Jordan talks her way into a brand new career.

Hello, Jordan.

ANNOUNCER: It's all happening right now on "Big Brother."

[theme music]

JULIE: Hi, I'm Julie Should All the adults are gone.

That was the reaction from Curtis

when George, the emperor in his new clothes,

was banished from the "Big Brother" house on Wednesday.

Four house guests are left, all something, and only one more

will leave empty handed.

Welcome to "Big Brother's" final nomination show.

Also tonight, former Houseguest Cassandra pays

a return visit to the house.

Now, the Houseguests don't know it yet,

but she's waiting in the Red Room.

Let's check in with them.

Houseguests, you'll never guess who this is.

Hi, Julie.

JULIE: Well, what are you guys doing?

Same thing we always do.

Hanging out waiting for the show, I guess.

JULIE: Well, guess what?

We're on live television.

Does everyone want to move into the living room?

I guess we will.

JULIE: Well, Jamie, I see we caught

you in the bathroom area.

Yeah.

JULIE: I hope you're done doing what you're doing.

I haven't started yet.

JULIE: Can you make your way to the living room?

And where is Eddie?

Something tells me perhaps--

oh.

Good evening, Eddie.

Nice.

It would have been nice if you called or something, you know,

cleaned up, maybe got dressed.

JULIE: This is the wake up call.

Great.

Thank you.

I'll get dressed in front of--

JULIE: Hey, you always look good, Eddie, you know?

Thank you. Thank you, Julie.

JULIE: All right, well, I will continue

speaking as you all make your way to the living room.

Pugita, come on.

JULIE: Now, Houseguests, there's less than a week to go,

and three of you are going to be a lot richer than you are now.

How does that feel?

Curtis?

Um, I guess that feels good for whoever

the three it will be.

JULIE: So you have no feelings on the issue

right now because you don't know where you're going to land?

No.

Absolutely.

We're pretty much in the dark here.

JULIE: Jamie? - Yeah?

JULIE: How does it feel knowing that three of you

are going to be a lot richer?

Did we catch you off guard a little?

I don't even know where to look, Julie.

JULIE: Wherever you want.

You know the drill.

We have cameras everywhere.

Nice pants, Eddie.

Thank you.

JULIE: Thank you.

Well, Houseguests--

PRODUCER: Jamie, please put your mic on.

Oh no.

JULIE: All right, Jamie, we'll wait for you.

You can chime in anytime you want.

Now, Houseguests, we've also heard you say in so many words

that fourth place is the worst place.

What are your thoughts knowing that one of you

will claim that fourth spot?

Anyone?

I'll answer that one.

JULIE: All right.

Very good, very good.

I think it's great to make it this far,

but honestly, we knew we were getting into when we signed up.

So bring it.

JULIE: You sound like you're prepared

if you take that fourth spot.

How about you, Jamie, now that you've got your microphone

back on?

Let's put you on the spot.

The fourth place would be hard.

I think the nice thing, though, is at this point,

we've all gotten the whole experience,

so one person will miss out on two days and money,

and that's about it.

JULIE: In that order?

Maybe not.

JULIE: Josh, haven't heard from you yet, what do you think?

You know what?

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me.

Whatever happens, I'm happy either way,

because I know that three of these people

are going to be better off than they were before, so that makes

me happy just knowing that.

JULIE: OK.

Well, Houseguests, now we have a little surprise.

We know we've always told you we'd never show you

a Red Room nomination.

Well, we're going to break that promise,

but for a very good reason.

Please turn and face the monitor.

Oh, no.

Slacker.

This is not real.

She's never worn that in here.

PRODUCER: Hi, Cassandra.

Hi.

PRODUCER: All right, give me the names of the two people

that you're going to nominate and why.

Tonight, I'm going to nominate me to come back into the house.

Can somebody please open the Red Room door?

We know what she's wearing.

Hey.

Cassandra.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi.

I got goodies.

I got goodies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Curtis.

Jamie.

Oh, thank you.

And, man.

Thanks, baby.

You're welcome.

[interposing voices]

Oh my God, you look so good.

Come sit down, guys.

Oh, gosh.

Where, where, where. I'm gonna sit here.

Sit on the a pug free couch.

Look at her.

You guys look good.

You guys look good.

Not as good as you.

I'm loving this.

Oh my gosh.

OK, how are you?

How are you? How are you?

- How are you? - I'm really good.

OK.

Let me tell you something.

To get started, I haven't watched any of the tapes, OK?

When I left the house, I decided not to watch any of the tapes,

and not to deal with any of the media coverage

at all, because I wanted to stay true to the experience

that I've had here.

So the things we talk about are not

going to be kind of the way we were portrayed

and that kind of thing, but more information about how

my experience has been.

And also kind of information about how I think you might

feel when you get out, OK?

That kind of stuff.

But tell me-- like I don't know what challenges you've had

or any of that.

What are you--

We made a really bad song.

We made a song.

Cassandra, it's horrible. - You guys did?

Horrible.

They put our voices to music.

- Really? - It's funny.

Bad.

Oh, and it's, well-- you probably know,

they're featuring it on Jordan's new show.

You know more than we do.

We don't even know--

OK, well, I'm going to get into some of that stuff--

How much time do you have? Do you know?

- A while. - Can you stay with us?

I'm going to be here for a few minutes

probably, not five minutes, but maybe

a little bit longer than that.

We'll have plenty of time for me--

I have a whole list of things that I want to share with you.

So you're gonna be here for a while?

No, I have to leave before the show's over, OK?

I have to leave before show's over, OK?

So do what you think's best.

You look good, by the way.

You do.

She never wore that here.

Guys, stop.

These are my clothes.

These are my clothes.

What's up with this--

I'm like, where's my California sun?

No more pool time.

You need a haircut.

Great, thanks.

You guys are a trip.

Did you get caught off guard just now?

- Totally. - Yeah.

Totally.

Really?

We were at the patio table, and she's just--

Makeup, none.

Nice.

You guys all really, really, really look good.

OK, all right, well, let me go into--

I made notes, OK.

Because I really want to be organized

in terms of the kinds of things I'm going to share with you.

Now, I'm going to share with you a list

of five things that I know.

And the stuff that I-- What?

Did you do Letterman?

No, I did not do Letterman, all right?

Wait.

But there are things that you'll be interested in.

OK, I'm only going to share with you things

that I know first hand, OK?

These are five things I know.

The "Big Brother" website is extremely, extremely popular,

OK.

It is one of the most popular new web sites out there,

and so we should be extremely excited about that.

Number two is there has been a lot of talk

about the ratings for this show, and I just

want to give you a couple of figures

so you kind of know where things are.

CBS's ratings are up % in the to -year-old category

since last summer in our time slot.

And % overall in our time slots, for the six nights.

So just to put that in perspective.

So when you get out, you might hear a lot of stuff

about the fact that the show has not lived up to expectations,

but this will give you some perspective as to really

the fact that we're doing OK.

We're doing quite well.

The next is people are going to recognize you on the street.

It's the most amazing thing.

You're like walking down the street

and people are coming up, Cassandra, Cassandra,

I love you.

And you're like, you want to--

I mean, I almost missed my flight yesterday

coming out here because people kept coming up to me

and saying hi. - You came form New York?

I came from New York. Yeah.

I'll tell you all about what I've done.

But it's very interesting because everybody

just likes us, I think.

I'm not talking about huge fame or anything like that.

I'm talking about people who relate to us as individuals,

you know what I mean?

So maybe they haven't watched the show every night,

maybe they've never logged onto the web,

but they've seen our face somewhere in a newspaper

article, or they've seen something about us,

and they feel like they know us.

It's the strangest, most exciting thing

because people connect with us.

They just like us, and even I think if they hated us,

like if people really didn't like me when I was

in the house, when I get out, they're like, oh, you know,

you're such a great person.

It's really, really interesting, and it

makes you feel really good about what you did in here.

Not that you know we came on here

for everybody to know our names, but

that's a really positive thing.

Next thing, your families are all doing very well.

I've spoken to them all this week,

and I'm going to tell you some little messages

that I got from them.

They've all told me basically that they're just

looking forward to having you guys back in less than a

week, folks.

Less than a week.

I know that when I was in the house,

we used to talk a lot about prospects

in the entertainment industry.

What might be open to us?

What opportunities may be there?

And obviously, it's going to depend a lot on who you are,

what your persona is, and how you

go about pursuing these things.

I think that there are certainly opportunities for us out there,

and you just have to move quickly when you leave

the house and explore them.

You have to be realistic as well though, and just

recognize that for some of us, things may happen

and for others they may not.

And it's just going to depend on how you project yourself,

and who you hook up with when you get out there.

Now.

let me go to the family list.

JULIE: Cassandra?

I'm sorry, we have to break in for a moment,

because we have a little business to take care of,

shall we say.

This, Houseguests, is a nomination show.

In fact, this is the final nomination show.

After next Wednesday's banishment,

the viewing audience will decide who wins first,

second, and third places.

Now, Houseguests, once again, you'll

be doing your nominations live tonight one

at a time throughout the show.

As always, you decide the order in which you go into the Red

Room, and I'll let you know when it's time for each Houseguest

to go in, so will the first Houseguest

please go to the Red Room now.

And to make sure no one else can hear what's going on in the Red

Room, just like we did last week,

everyone else could please move to the dining room?

Battery in?

PRODUCER: Hi, Eddie.

Yeah, you can leave it in.

So give me the names of the two people

that you're going to nominate and why.

All right, I nominate Curtis and Jamie.

Statistically and strategically, I'm

thinking that if I nominate them,

I think that they're going to nominate me.

I'm hoping that Josh will in turn nominate Jamie and Curtis

as well, and instead of them nominating Josh,

they're going to reverse around and Curtis nominate

me and Jamie, and Jamie nominate me

and Curtis, which would give them three apiece,

me two and Josh zero.

So real quick and strategically, I think that's the best move.

Plus I think it would be good to take the person with last week

with % and the person with plus percent or so,

put them together and see what the public does.

PRODUCER: Sounds like you've thought it all out.

Why don't you head back out into the house then.

Thank you.

PRODUCER: Thanks, Eddie.

Sunday I had media--

Monday, I had media interviews all day long.

It was amazing.

It was a full day, starting with "The Early Show,"

and then going on to satellite interviews

and like with CBS affiliates, and CNN came and interview me.

JULIE: We'll be right back with more nominations

from the "Big Brother" house.

Stay with us.

ANNOUNCER: Still ahead, she went from prime time to drive time.

I think that a lot of people think that I'm screwed up.

ANNOUNCER: Jordan's new career as a morning radio DJ

when we return.

JULIE: Welcome back.

Certainly one of the most colorful characters in the "Big

Brother" family is Jordan.

She was the second to be banished,

but the first to start a brand new career as a radio

DJ, early morning shift.

I'm working one day a week at this point.

Working in radio is really fun.

In the "Big Brother" house, they

have actually taken the theme song, and they've rewritten it.

[music playing]

It's painful already.

My ears are burning.

[SINGING] [inaudible] like us in your lifetime.

You have [inaudible]

All right.

Stop.

Just stop.

Stop.

Stop.

It's like a bad Beatles impression.

I'd like to talk about why women

are so competitive with each other in society.

When you become a triathlete and win the Iron Man in Hawaii,

people will look at you as Jordan the stripper--

Exactly.

Always, always, always.

The term catty doesn't apply to men.

I stopped listening because I got sick and tired hearing

about Jordan's a stripper and how

she knows all about stripping.

I think that a lot of people think that I'm screwed up.

Things are different for me because I feel like a cartoon

in people's minds.

Everybody thinks they know me, but nobody does.

I went into the house, and I had a lot of feelings and thoughts

that I wanted to work through, especially about dancing.

I was a stripper.

When I got out, I had been slapped in the face.

The media lashed onto that, and it was very painful

because it's so personal.

Things just seemed to snowball, and by the time I left,

people thought I was this salacious conniving lecher.

I'm not this evil woman with a bad heart.

I'm totally done with dancing.

Cleaning out my locker was very symbolic for me.

I feel more than ever the drive to finish my book.

I just need to step back, and I need

to write because that's what's going

to bring me the most peace.

My goal is not just to be in Hollywood as a big star.

I want to do something.

I'm going to be me.

JULIE: Let's continue with our final night of nominations

on "Big Brother."

Hi, everyone.

ANNOUNCER: Hi, Julie.

JULIE: Well, it's time for another visit to the Red Room,

so who's up?

All right, Josh, go ahead.

Do I leave my--

PRODUCER: Yeah, Josh, you leave your battery in.

Have a seat.

So go ahead and give me the names of the two people

that you're going to nominate and why.

I nominate Curtis and I nominate Jamie.

The reason I'm nominating Curtis is I had a discussion with him,

and he said that he plans on making around $,

a year in two to three years, and I don't think the money

will make that big of a difference in his life.

And with Jamie, likewise.

She already has a great job with an internet company

that she owns stock in, and I just

think that the money could really

help out Eddie and his family.

And this is the hardest thing I've

probably ever done, because these people are

all my friends.

PRODUCER: You've never nominated Jamie before.

Did Brittany's message or the banners or anything going on

in the Red Room that you didn't know about, maybe kind of

add up to influence your nomination this time?

No, I've never nominated Eddie,

and I'm never nominated Jamie, and it just came down

to a decision whose family I think could

benefit more from the money.

And I know that Eddie's family has a lot of medical bills

and things like that, and I just think that it

would help his family more.

So that's the reason I nominated her.

PRODUCER: OK.

Thanks very much, Josh.

You can go back out inside the house.

JULIE: Joining us now is our health and relationship

specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky.

Welcome, Dr. Drew. - Thank you, Julie.

JULIE: I'm a little bit surprised by what we just saw.

He said he never nominated those people before.

Isn't that interesting?

JULIE: But I want to ask you about Cassandra's visit

to the house.

From what we've heard so far, how do you think her visit back

in is affecting the others?

Well, not too much yet.

They've chosen, of course, Cassandra.

She's probably the most non-virulent infecting agent

they could have introduced into the house,

and she has been very careful with the information

she's going to introduce to them.

She, in fact, said before the show,

they're going to ask me questions

I don't want them to know.

So she's going to really manage exactly

what goes into the house.

The one thing she is very concerned about

is managing their expectations about what it's

going to be like to get out.

I don't think it's going to have a huge effect.

I think they've chosen her with that in mind.

JULIE: Yeah, she's been handling herself--

she's been very responsible in what she's telling them.

That's Cassandra.

JULIE: A lot of class.

Now, I want to ask you in European versions of "Big

Brother," there's always been a romance

inside the "Big Brother" house.

Not only was there not a romance here in this house,

but we're talking about, we have three something year old

guys, none of them are married, and one

very attractive something year

old girl, and zero sexual tension.

Why is that?

It is surprising, but it really

boils down to the beauty queen.

It boils down to Jamie, that she has been

very contained, very strong and in maintaining

that containment.

She seems to be very concerned about how she's portrayed

on camera, and really a romantic liaison could really

expose parts of herself that could affect how she

is perceived when she gets out.

It could affect the game at large.

JULIE: Right.

Now we've heard the Houseguests say over and over again

that being fourth place is the worst place to be,

so close and yet so far.

How devastating will it be for that next Houseguest

to be banished?

Well, it's going to be obviously disappointing.

They've all said that, but they seem to have a pretty

good attitude about it.

They understand that they've had a very

positive experience here.

They understand that there can be opportunities

when they get out.

I think really the positive aspects of this experience

will outweigh the negative having finished, if you will,

out of the money.

JULIE: Dr. Drew Pinsky, thank you so much.

Thank you.

JULIE: And we'll be right back.

ANNOUNCER: Still ahead, Josh's rooting section

comes out in full force.

Who's gonna win?

Josh!

ANNOUNCER: Don't go away, we're just getting started.

Who are we here for?

Josh!

Who do we love?

Josh.

Who's gonna win?

Josh.

We're mainly throwing this party because I was having

a lot of people on the internet and people calling me saying

doesn't Josh have any family support?

Doesn't Josh have any friends?

OK, you guys, you all must wear your Josh T-shirt.

It's like they haven't heard enough

from Josh's friends and family.

Go, Uncle Josh.

This is little Josh.

He watches big Josh every night after he takes his bath.

He's big Josh's biggest fan.

California heat wave pushes electric uses

within % of capacity.

Josher?

False.

You know that wouldn't be true ever.

I seriously doubt it.

Oh, Josh.

I think Josh can go all the way because Josh has a good heart.

I love you, Uncle Josh.

JULIE: Welcome back.

Here to talk about the official "Big Brother" website

is our America Online internet advisor, Regina Lewis.

Welcome, Regina.

Thanks.

JULIE: Well, things are heating up as we enter

this final stretch of the show.

What's happening online?

Well, you can feel the intensity.

What happens is people watch the show,

and while they're watching it, they want to talk about it.

So right now as we're speaking, messages are being posted

at a rate of one per second.

That's , , .

JULIE: That's a lot.

A lot.

And the chats moved even faster.

JULIE: And what are some of those messages

that are being sent in?

Well, this week there's a lot of talk about the fact

that there are three guys left in the house and one girl.

Someone said, poor Jamie.

Not she's living with three cute guys, what could be better?

Also a lot of talk about the difficulty

of coming in fourth place.

Someone said I wouldn't want to be kicked out this week.

All that time in captivity with nothing

to show for it in terms of prize money.

But I've got to hand it to George.

He did a chat on AOL Live this week

and declared the Chicken is not cooked,

Chicken George is alive and well,

and we have a full transcript online.

JULIE: And people can be hearing from him

Monday on "The Early Show."

Now, I want to ask you about this week's AOL survey.

You're asking people who they think

will be marked for banishment?

Actually, who will receive the most nominations, which

is an important question because you've got

to be nominated to be banished.

So so far, they're on track based on what

we've heard this evening.

% said Jamie.

That seems to be holding true based

on what we've seen so far.

JULIE: Right.

Eddie had %, but I think what we heard from George

last week on the show and repeatedly from the Houseguests

is you can't underestimate the fact that people

really feel he needs the money.

He has medical bills, and that's a very powerful message.

Curtis had % of the vote, and Josh had %.

He is under the radar.

JULIE: Well, we'll see how the remaining

two Houseguests nominate people in Red Room

and see how it goes.

Regina Lewis, AOL, thank you so much.

Now, what was your most memorable moment

from the "Big Brother" house?

Well, here's what some of you had to say.

My favorite "Big Brother" moment is when George dressed

up as Karen in the Red Room.

Oh, God sakes.

I made brownies.

I forgot about my brownies again.

When they did the mud wrestling outside,

that looks like that had fun.

They let off some stress.

Probably when they were doing their group

hugs or their group cuddles.

It was wild.

My favorite "Big Brother" moment was

when George dyed his hair blue.

You think I'm cool?

When Josh was eating that pie during the pie contest and

threw it up all over the place.

I'm so drinking with you when I get out here.

When Eddie was freaking out the house

banging on the pots and pans.

When they were square dancing in the backyard,

and I really admired Eddie for hopping

around, getting around better than most of them

with the two legs.

My favorite "Big Brother" moment

was when they were tearing up the house looking

for the tickets to the Emmys, and Curtis

found it behind the door.

It was just amazing.

Wasn't it?

JULIE: Now let's listen in and see how

things are going in the house.

OK.

All right, all right.

Cool.

Did you see Chicken man left in a toga?

Yeah.

I didn't see that.

I heard about that.

I heard about that.

I didn't see that.

But I did hear, and I understand that his whole family

and his sister were there for him and everything.

So I think they're fine, and I think

they're on their way to New York right now to do the media tour.

What I did, as I mentioned, it was a full day of interviews.

I mean, for you guys it's going to be

different and probably bigger because you

guys are at the end and stuff.

But it was really, really, really intense.

So you have to--

when you walk out the door, guys,

you have to be ready to be on, because I walked out

and immediately to the studio, and immediately

for an extensive interview with Julie.

You know what I mean?

And so you want to think about, OK, let me just prepare myself

to be articulate and explain, because they're going to ask

you, why did you do this? Why did you do that?

What did you think in this moment?

That kind of thing.

So be ready not to justify your actions, but just

if the public has questions about you,

and why you did certain things, to give them

more insight about who you are.

You know what I mean?

So just be ready for those kinds of things.

The journalists tend to ask the same questions all the time.

So once you got it down, then give a fresh spin,

but still it's basically the same thing.

You look great.

You do.

You look so good.

I'm going back home tomorrow night.

No tomorrow afternoon actually, I'll go back home.

So you're flying coach now?

No.

Don't push anymore.

Things are better on the other side.

It's actually really, really, really fun,

but with that does is, again, it calls attention to you.

Again, because you know you're sitting where you weren't

sitting before, and you're driving around in something

that you weren't driving around in before, and so it's obvious,

you know what I mean?

Yes.

So that's something, particularly for you guys,

you know?

But again, I don't know.

I mean, that all could fade.

You just have to--

it could just be-- like for me right now,

it's a lot of hullabaloo, and in a week from now,

it could be just like Cassandra.

Cassandra, who?

So you have to be ready for it to go either way.

For the people who are already out of the house,

it's big for some, not as big for others.

Well, no.

I think what I'm saying is it just depends on certainly,

Brit has done very well, and I told you

Karen's got stuff going.

And I think Jordan's really happy with what she's doing.

George just got out, so I don't know what's going to happen.

But I think what I'm saying is just that you have to know what

it is you want, and surround yourself

by people who are looking out for your best interests and--

ANNOUNCER: Eddie's friends and family know he's got the guts

to stick it out till the end.

Still ahead, a ruckus party in support

of their favorite Houseguest.

Don't go away.

This is all his friends and family here tonight.

We're just rooting for Eddie to win.

Eddie, this is for you, baby.

He's holding his own.

He wants to taste victory.

Eddie.

When I see Eddie on TV, oh my God.

Especially if he has his shirt off.

Bull [muted].

The obscenities are tough, but again,

I would challenge anyone parent to say what

their -year-old kid is willing to do as far as on national TV.

New York, you ask somebody to open a door,

and it's open the F-ing door.

We're gonna [muted] lose anyway, man.

He's not a quitter, so I really

can't see him walking out.

It's just not in him.

Go, Eddie.

Whoo.

Best of luck to you, man.

JULIE: Welcome back.

Will Eddie's fans be disappointed?

Well, we'll have to wait and see as we

continue our visits to the Red Room

on this final nomination show.

Well, Houseguests, it's time for more Red Room

nominations, so who's next?

I guess that's me.

JULIE: We're ready for you.

OK.

Oh, Pugita, me only.

PRODUCER: Hi, Curtis. - Hi.

PRODUCER: You can leave your battery in.

Sure.

PRODUCER: So give me the names of the two people

that you're nominating and why.

I nominate Eddie and Josh.

As like I did last round, I have nothing bad to say about them.

I consider them good friends, but when

look at the three remaining people,

I think of Jamie as my closest friend.

I feel like I can't nominate her,

so it leaves Eddie and Josh.

PRODUCER: Is a lack of a personal connection

a better reason versus need to keep someone

from winning the big prize?

I don't know.

I mean, it's really hard to nominate anybody,

so all I'm focusing on is who do I feel OK with nominating

versus not nominating.

And I don't actually feel OK with nominating Eddie and Josh.

It's more like I would feel not OK at all if I nominated Jamie,

because we're very close.

PRODUCER: OK, go back out inside the house.

OK.

PRODUCER: Thank you.

JULIE: Now, on Wednesday, we all saw one of the most moving

moments on "Big Brother."

Banished Houseguest George was overwhelmed by a surprising

and very generous gift.

And they have offered a full four-year scholarship

for any one of your daughters.

When I learned about the scholarship,

I was just totally shocked, and just when I saw my Dad's face

and how excited he was.

We were attracted to George, Chicken George,

because George is like the parents

of many of our students.

% of our students are first generation college

and we thought Jessica was a student

deserving of an opportunity to go to college.

$,.

JULIE [VOICEOVER]: Exactly, George.

That'd put my daughter through college.

When they offered him $,, I

did not want him to take the money,

because then he would look like a quitter,

and that wasn't the point of going in this show.

Take them back in the other room, Julie, I'm staying.

I'm all ready with a sweatshirt for Jessica,

and a cap for George, both of which

say Southern Vermont College.

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,

and it's awesome that you would just think to give me this,

and you think so much my dad.

And I'll do good and work hard, and I just can't wait to come

and see you guys in August.

JULIE: We want to say thank you to Southern Vermont

College for its generosity.

Now, let's check back in with the Houseguests.

After Wednesday, you know, it will really settle

in when there's three of us.

We're like, phew.

Now, OK, let's get our heads straight, but this here

still part of the game.

The down time not's so bad.

We just hang out and just don't even talk so much.

The "Big Brother" game, did you see it?

Oh my God.

The "Big Brother" board game.

Let me go get it.

It's hilarious.

No.

You're kidding me?

You got to be kidding me?

Is it funny ridiculous? - I was Cassandra.

Oh, stop.

You were not.

Kind of based off like us, stuff

we said, but not us directly.

Oh, my God.

It's funny.

So funny.

Oh my God, look at this.

The real confrontation.

I love it.

I love it.

We figured they had us play it for commercial purposes.

That's hilarious.

Show her the card.

It's pretty cool.

Oh, and it's our house.

It's our house?

Look at this card.

Oh, yeah.

Like you'll roll die, and then--

You have to vote.

You'll find out like who's the wizard in the group?

Really?

Doubting Thomas.

Who's the geek?

Neurotic.

The cuddler.

Aye, aye, aye.

[inaudible] we said.

It was funny.

Dictator, sweetheart.

Slacker.

Where's the slacker?

Where's slacker?

Slacker's not on there.

My bad.

It was on one of the cards.

Who's the slacker in the group. - Really?

Isn't that hilarious?

Very interesting.

I honestly hate it though.

They don't understand that.

They don't get it.

Hater.

Things are going well in here, you know?

Yeah?

It's getting down to the wire, you know.

More and more planes are going by.

I actually was around today, and I heard like

every half hour or something.

With the cloudy whether, it's been slacking off.

We had all nice ones today.

When yesterday, they were--

Yesterday there was like half a dozen.

Feels like kids are like home alone.

[interposing voices]

JULIE: Hi, Houseguests.

Hi, Julie.

JULIE: Well, what is it like having

Cassandra back in the house? - We love it.

It's great.

JULIE: I don't think they're going to let you

leave, Cassandra.

But, before we ask Cassandra to leave,

we have time for one more question for her.

So think it over.

One more.

JULIE: Yeah.

And it's got to be now.

Come on, y'all.

NO pressure.

- Do you have any regrets? - That's a good one.

No. No, I don't.

I'm so happy I did what I did.

So happy.

OK.

Absolutely.

And I think you guys all feel the same way.

I'll be sitting there grey as I'll be blowing

Palmolive out of my mouth.

Yes. Stop.

No, no, no.

Your mom was so funny with that, Eddie.

She was hilarious.

She was so funny with that.

My Mom's [inaudible]. My Mom's crazy.

No, I think that, you know, you can't have regrets.

It was a great experience for me,

and I think you guys, when you look back on it,

will feel the same way.

When you get out, you're just going

to be riding on adrenaline.

You know what I mean?

Then after that, you'll have a chance

to really reflect on what you got out of it,

and how you grew, and what have you.

Aside from the prize and all that kind of stuff,

but there will be some time when you thing about when it was

like, and what you find out about yourself,

and all that kind of stuff.

Do we still get to come to New York and visit you?

Yeah, y'all.

You better.

[inaudible].

In your hallway.

I got some new music, Eddie.

Music-- last night I went to a jazz club also.

Man, it was nice.

You hear me?

It was nice.

I almost wanted to dance, but I didn't said no.

Almost?

[inaudible] not dance.

Oh.

No, it's really interesting.

I mean, I immediately went to the record store

and bought all these CDs and everything.

You know just to kind of remind myself music exists out there,

you know?

It's really a lot of stuff has happened over the summer,

a lot of new stuff is out there. JULIE: Cassandra?

Yeah.

JULIE: I'm sorry, it's time for you

to say goodbye to everybody. - OK.

JULIE: And Josh, that was the second question, when

you said, can we come visit.

But you know, I'll let it slide.

Now, Cassandra, I know you've done this before, but this time

just so you don't have complete deja vu,

please leave the house through the Red Room,

and you'll be joining me here in the studio.

OK.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you guys, for having me.

Thanks for the goodies.

Yeah, the goodies are cool.

Oh, yeah. You're welcome.

We'll take anything for free.

Hi, sweetie, you can not come with me.

You can take her.

I'll see you on the other side.

All right, guys, see you.

Love you all.

Hang in here.

I'm not watching, but I'm with you in spirit.

OK?

[inaudible], babe.

All right, take care.

Be good to each other, guys.

Thanks, Cassandra. We appreciate it.

Thanks for coming our for us.

Take good care of yourself.

Pugita.

JULIE: And, Houseguests, I'll be back with all of you

in a minute.

When we come back, Jamie will give us

the final Red Room nominations.

Welcome back.

With us now in the studio is Cassandra.

Welcome, Cassandra.

Thank you, Julie.

JULIE: Well, are the only banished Houseguest

to ever go back into the "Big Brother" house.

How did it feel?

You know, on one hand, it was very bizarre,

because it was of course deja vu,

but it was also wonderful to be back in the house

with my former housemates.

It was amazing to just be with them, even

for just a few moments.

JULIE: Did it make you miss living in there?

No.

I miss them.

I don't miss the house.

JULIE: Right, exactly.

Did anything about the house or about the Houseguests

surprise you?

The dog is thinner.

JULIE: Oh, really?

I didn't notice that.

Yes.

The fellows need haircuts, and they seem a lot more subdued

than they normally do, which I think

is just the fact that they're a week away

from the end of the experience.

JULIE: Well, that's what I was going to ask you.

Can you gauge the mood for us in there?

Well, I think that they're all very strong right now.

They look as though they're just ready for this last push,

and they do seem much more quiet and subdued.

And I think that's fine.

I mean, that's to be expected at this stage in the game.

JULIE: Did you tell them that?

I think so.

Yes, I did.

JULIE: Now did they not ask you something that surprised you?

They didn't push me on the question

about watching the tapes, had I heard anything

about Red Room nominations, for example,

or those kinds of things.

Soon as they heard that I hadn't watched the tapes,

they dropped that, and I'm not saying

I was surprised about that, but I

expected perhaps they might have one

or more questions in that area.

JULIE: I didn't hear, but did they

ask you why you chose not to watch,

because you gave the reasoning.

I gave the reason, so they respected that.

JULIE: And I just want to update our viewers.

You are going to go back to your job at the UN in New York,

so we're glad to hear that.

Thank you so much for coming in.

Best of luck to you.

Pleasure to be here.

JULIE: Now, let's go back to the house.

Houseguests?

Well, Jamie, you have the honor of delivering

the last Red Room nominations, and we're ready for you.

PRODUCER: Hi, Jamie. - Hi.

PRODUCER: Please leave you battery in.

OK.

PRODUCER: And why don't you give me the names of the two people

that you're going to nominate and why.

I'm going to nominate Eddie and I'm going to nominate Josh.

And I have no reasons.

The only reason really is that I tried to look back

over the three months here, and the person

who has kind of always there in terms of you

know being a friend, always there

to lean on, the kind of person I've gotten close with

has been Curtis.

So I don't know, I have a feeling we'll probably

all be up for nomination, and it'll

just be in the public's hands.

But those are my two nominations.

PRODUCER: You've pretty consistently nominated Eddie.

This is the fifth time now, I guess.

Yeah.

PRODUCER: So is this strictly because of a lack of

a personal connection with him?

Is that a better reason versus maybe

need to keep someone from winning the big prize?

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

You brought it up last time, and basically it's the same thing.

He and I have probably gotten the least close of me

and anyone in the house.

But like I said before, he's a great heart.

He's a good guy, and I'd be happy for him.

I'd be really happy if he won, and I think that, you know,

yesterday there was banners saying vote Jamie, save Eddie,

and I have no idea where those come from, because he

and I get along really well.

PRODUCER: OK.

Good enough.

Thank you.

Go back out in the house. - All right.

Thanks.

JULIE: That final round means Curtis,

Eddie, Jamie, and Josh have all been marked for banishment.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is a four way tie.

When we come back, we'll share the news with the Houseguests.

Stay with us.

Welcome back.

Let's go to the house now and deliver the news.

Hi, everyone.

Hello.

JULIE: I'm sure you know what's coming.

We have counted up the nominations

and here are the results.

Curtis, you have two nominations.

Eddie, you have two nominations.

Jamie, two nominations.

And Josh, yes, that means you also have two nominations.

That means all of you have been marked for banishment.

Kind of like self-destruction.

That's kind of cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's cool.

Everybody's up.

That's fair.

Pugita, I nominated you, but they didn't count that one.

That's awesome.

I think that's great.

That is cool as hell.

That is awesome.

I think that's great.

Everybody's up.

It's kind of nice actually.

So that the fourth person out is sort of like--

OK, who is hungry?

I can have dinner ready in an hour.

What are we having?

Remember like the carbonaro, which

is like the bacon and eggs spaghetti one,

and tomato with mozzarella one that Cassandra makes.

And the gigantic garlic bread.

That sounds great.

All right, cool.

That weighs as much as a small child.

Sun's out now that's it's going down.

Wonderful.

Pugita.

JULIE: Three of these people will

walk away with prize money.

One won't.

Now it's up to you to choose.

Will Curtis, Eddie, Jamie, or Josh be the last Houseguest

to leave empty handed?

Call --- to vote for the Houseguests

you think should be banished.

In Canada, call the number at the bottom of your screen.

Each call costs $..

That's it for tonight.

Don't forget to join us Monday and Tuesday

for our regular shows, and we'll be back live on Wednesday

to see the final Houseguests leave with just a suitcase

and three months of memories.

After that, you decide who the grand prize winner will be.

I'm Julie Chen.

Have a great night.

She looked happy.

She looked very.

As soon as we could see her on the TV, we were like,

oh, this is not a real nomination.

What were the things that she told us from our family?

I'm getting soap, and my grandmother is doing well.

Oh, yeah.

Good job. - Very nice to know.

That's cool.

Even if she wasn't, I don't think my mom would tell me,

but that's another story.

Charlie?

Yeah, exactly.

[inaudible] or anything?

No.

It's cool.

Just get back to normal life.

Brittany and Karen hung out with my sister.

- That's cool. - Isn't that hilarious?

That's totally cool.

And it might have been filmed.

Maybe.

Yeah.

Definitely.

I bet it was.

Brittany and Karen are still hanging out together.
