02x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother".

NARRATOR: The temperature in the house

has been heating up as strategies intensify.

It's called "The Art of w*r"

NARRATOR: And romance blossoms.

NARRATOR: Will and Shannon have become a house item,

forcing Shannon to face some tough decisions

about her boyfriend at home.

Are you in love with him?

NARRATOR: To stay alive in the game,

Chilltown's Mike, Will, and Shannon are attempting

to gain favor with Nicole.

You vote with us, you're untouchable.

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Monica and Hardy

continue to fly beneath the radar, as Kent

and Bunky try to overcome their differences.

I'll be the first one to stand beside you and say, OK, good.

Fight me too.

NARRATOR: With Kent and Autumn nominated for eviction,

everyone wondered if Nicole would vote

to save her friend or succumb to Chilltown's

pressure to oust Kent.

In the end, Nicole was saddened to find

that her decision made it a unanimous vote to evict Autumn.

Bye guys.

You don't have to walk me out.

Please don't.

NARRATOR: Hardy claimed the Head of Household title

and now possesses the power to nominate two fellow HouseGuests

for eviction.

Who will he choose?

Find out tonight on "Big Brother ".

[music playing]

It was a to vote.

You don't know my heart, like it sunk.

No matter how much you may have disagreed with someone

during their stay in the house, it's difficult to watch

someone walk out the door.

I knew it was going to be to though.

But you know what?

Nicole told them-- Nicole told them she was voting for Kent.

She had to.

If that was my friend, I would have voted for my friend.

I'm so sorry.

This wasn't my choice, but I have

to go with what the community tells me I have

to do for the good of the game.

Everyone felt deeply sorry for Autumn.

But I think the consensus of the entire house

was that Autumn needed to go home

I thought that I had some good friends and even a roommate who

really cared about me, and those are

the people that tried to oust me and rallied

people to get me thrown out.

In my mind, I had, like--

I had stuck up for Autumn.

And I had said things and done things to try to defend her.

The only person that I could assume

would have led her to say what she said about me was Nicole.

I thought Nicole might throw a vote for Autumn,

just so that, you know, when it comes down to the final two

and we all have to come back and vote, that's someone she could

have counted in her hip pocket.

And that's why Nicole, I think, was

so distressed at the - vote.

Because she realized it was a missed opportunity.

I'm questionable about her too.

Nicole's in there talking [muted] about you.

I don't know what her deal is.

But she's in there, I don't know about Hardy.

Hardy-- I just hope we stick to the plan.

Well, she's just--

she's sweating now. Because--

Because you said something to her, didn't you?

Well, no. I know [muted].

I know who the [muted] who said that [muted] to Autumn.

And, of course, she was the one that sat down beside him

and started explaining stuff.

Exactly.

So I'm like, you know what?

I'm not stupid.

I didn't see Autumn's face when the vote came in.

Did you all?

I couldn't.

Did you?

Kent. - What?

Did you see Autumn's face when the vote came in?

- Uh-uh. - Me either.

I was beside her.

I didn't look at her.

I didn't look at her.

I was getting up to give her a hug--

I didn't know she was going to go running out--

just tell her, you know, good luck, hope everything works OK.

I didn't look at her.

Did you see Autumn's face when the vote came through?

Yeah.

Was she-- I mean, she knew?

Yeah.

[music playing]

[music playing]

Hardy being the Head of Household now,

does have the power to shift the weight any way he wants.

This afternoon, we'll see if Hardy stuck with the game plan

or not.

[cheering] Right on.

Hardy is Head of Household, and I think Chilltown

starts to dwindle from here.

I had every opportunity to win that.

What can you do?

JULIE: Hardy wins Head of Household competition.

Congratulations Hardy.

The funniest thing was-- is that,

you know, after it had all ended, Mike was sitting there.

You know, he thought I was dead meat for Shannon.

I just don't understand how people perceive me.

Like, I don't see why they see me as less

educated or less knowledgeable.

I don't know what he was basing it on.

My appearance?

Perhaps it is just wishful thinking.

I mean, that's the only thing I can summate it to.

[WHISPERING] Because he's not that smart,

I think it's going to be you and Shannon.

It could be me and Shannon.

But it's definitely Shannon.

No doubt about it.

He doesn't know it.

But basically if Will and Shannon are here,

because they're so disliked, it's like every week he doesn't

win Head of Household, he's almost assured that one of them

is going to go up.

And to be quite frank, I don't think he's smart enough

to use that strategy.

I mean seriously, people are intimidated

by intelligence, people being attractive, vanity, and power.

They're very intimidated by all three of those,

and we possess all three of those things.

Obviously, my strategy would be to get rid of one of them.

Not only that, but just we're fun.

I mean seriously.

It would simply be a matter of which one

I find to be least annoying.

c*ck and arrogance never looks good on anybody,

and I fight against it every step of the way.

[WHISPERING] We're not losing Head of Household

three weeks in a row.

Kent even had a better answer than me.

JULIE: All those without the number two,

please step to the side and join Krista.

As long as they make it--

have to make it fair, they have to make it at this level.

Right.

Granted, you're not paying attention to people,

so that kind of doesn't work.

But as far as--

I've got to start doing that.

You're going to have to start doing that.

Why do we keep having these contests

that you're supposed to know about the other people

in the house?

I mean, I haven't listened to one word they said.

I didn't know that was a requirement.

Well, it is an interesting and unique position to hold.

Because, you know, basically you're

holding the future of at least one person in your hands.

So it's not necessarily a decision

that I am going to be making with great ease.

Fortunately, due to the actions of some

of the household members, it's being

made easier than it should be.

There's a chance.

There's a chance my name's not in that box.

We can cross that bridge when we come to it.

Yeah.

I don't think that Mike is a bad guy.

Unfortunately, he chose a path that I

personally find unacceptable.

But, again, it is a game, and people

are willing to go to certain lengths to win a game.

I think Will--

I think he's the ringleader behind all of Chilltown.

And in this game and under these circumstances,

I'm going to do everything I can to make

him accountable for what I believe are his actions.

I want you to relax.

What happens, happens.

There's nothing that we can do about it.

[WHISPERING] That's not true.

These people are not going to change their opinion of us

overnight.

All right?

So who cares?

We've been good.

I'm not going to kiss a*s to people--

I'm not going to kiss a*s either, baby.

Yes, you have.

I want to kiss your a*s.

You want to kiss my a*s?

It's a little sunburned, so you're

going to have to be gentle.

If Will is nominated, yeah, I mean, I'm going to miss him.

This is all contingent and everything but, um--

Mhm.

Yeah?

Mhm, I would really like that.

OK.

[music playing]

I think that Shannon is an amazing woman,

and she has a lot to offer.

It's tough because Jim is .

He doesn't have a job.

He has no desire to work right now.

I pay all the bills.

When I left to come here, I was like,

I think you're my soul mate.

And he was like, OK.

So that was really tough to swallow.

My boyfriend is seven years younger than me.

I've tried to talk to him a lot about things.

And I had always teased him that--

I'm like, yeah, if I win the show,

I'm going to ask you to marry me.

And he was like, oh, well great, oh.

You know?

And he shadedly just avoided the question all the time.

It's something that I've been struggling

with for the last year and five months, year and a half.

So basically you're like, [muted]..

He's like, you've got to do what you have to do.

What if it gets more, and more, and more,

and you're like, oh my god, I'm just in love with her,

and then she gets evicted?

And here I am--

I'm not really a worrier

And I'm going to give up this chance

that, that it could be something and throwing it out the window.

Because here I am fresh in her mind.

And then she's not going to be with me.

And she's going to see Jim.

And then she's going to be like, oh, no, that's crazy.

I can't.

You know what I mean?

Listen that's--

I didn't think of it those terms.

That kind of scares the [muted] out of me.

Thanks.

[chuckle]

[chuckle]

No, it's not.

Yeah, today it is.

I'd like to think that he wasn't

using me just for the game.

But there isn't a whole lot of using going

on from my perspective anyway.

I think it's fun to get to know each other.

Let's make out.

Let me wipe the spit off your face first.

She's won me over, and I'm just interested in her

in the context of this game.

But more importantly, I'm interested in her outside

of this house.

I would feel very fortunate to be in a relationship with her.

Just leave it. It's fun.

Just rinse it.

Do you think it's easy being this ugly?

Because it's hard. - You are not ugly.

I have to deal with it every day.

Sweetheart, you're not ugly.

You're not a bad looking guy.

But Monica, if you saw Shannon and I at the mall, you'd be

like, why is that fine girl with that dork?

[chuckle]

No, I would say, look at those two.

One is a soap star, one is a model,

and they got a lot of money.

[laughter]

And Monica is coming to the wedding.

No matter what--

I don't care--

I'm coming to the wedding.

Definitely.

I can't imagine Will ever having those words

come out of his mouth, as far as marrying me

or anything like that.

This is how I'm going to comb my hair

when I meet your parents.

What makes you think you're going to meet my parents?

Because you love me.

But if, you know, if something was to happen,

it was meant to be.

[music playing]

The women lost the food competition.

And unfortunately, because of the competition being what it

is, they had to eat peanut butter

and jelly for an entire week, while we, the men, got to eat,

you know, whatever was given to us by Big Brother.

One day of eating this [muted] is like literally a lifetime.

Like, the day isn't long enough in this place.

You know what I mean?

It's like--

Yeah, it just adds to the monotony.

I think that your mental well-being

is what you're all about.

And when you can't do anything but put peanut butter and jelly

and bread in your system, it doesn't sustain

a healthy mental well-being.

I'm really mad right now.

- Be mad. - Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, be mad.

That's OK.

Because I was-- I've been mad for the last two days.

This PB&J is k*lling me.

Yesterday, I couldn't eat but two.

And it couldn't even go down.

It wouldn't go down, so I couldn't even eat.

So I kind of like fast yesterday.

Nicole, are you really in a bad mood today?

Yes.

All right.

I swear, if I lose the food competition again,

I'm going to smash peanut butter and jelly

all over this entire house.

I'll tell you what, Nicole, you've

been so great since you've been on PB&J,

Bunky's going to cook for you get food.

I'm going to cook the largest feast I've ever, literally,

eaten in my life.

I hope it works out.

I think we should make sure it works out.

Huh?

No, no, I don't think so.

[chuckle]

No way.

You would eat another week of groceries

and make them eat PB&J for two weeks in a row?

In a [muted] heartbeat.

In a [muted] heartbeat.

Sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

So Bunky, are you saying you're trying to throw

the competition to the girls?

It doesn't sit well with me that somebody might

be considering, or at least alluding to the fact,

that they're not going to compete to win.

I would feel guilty eating two groceries two weeks in a row

and making them eat PB&J.

It's not us making them eat it.

It's "Big Brother".

It's a competition.

It's a game which everyone signed on the dotted line

to play.

I guess I just have a little bit more

compassion than other people.

Man.

I'll let you eat.

I'm sorry.

Hardy exploded.

I mean, he just went off on me.

Because he's like, hell no.

I'm hungry, and I'm going to eat.

And that's tough.

They came here to play a game and everything.

And so we just both got very emotional.

Bunky pulled me into the Head of the Household Room.

He asked me if he would mind if I would speak with him.

First, let's talk about the food thing.

Um-hm.

Well, why don't you just go ahead and start.

I don't even know where to start.

I just-- I know that I upset you, and I apologize.

I can understand and appreciate

your position regarding, like you know, with not wanting

the girls to have to go through another week

of eating peanut butter and jelly,

but that's not in my blood.

I apologize. I was totally wrong.

I was just angry.

Well, what was your intent in doing that?

I just felt like I was being attacked for being

a compassionate person.

It could obviously be a strategy of his.

Because he has, over the past two weeks, done certain things

and said certain things, not only to myself, but to

other people in the household.

So I think it's all kind of wrapped up into one big juicy

cover your a*s type of thing.

So I mean, I am a compassionate person.

But when it comes down to, like, me

eating or somebody else eating for a week,

you better watch out.

But that's just how I am.

Right.

So is there anything I can do to convince you that I

will not throw a competition.

No, just, just try your best.

That's all I ask.

I will.

So we're cool on the food?

We're cool.

OK.

All right guys--

It's for the whole house.

This is a group competition.

[applause]

Good deal.

So all for one and one for all.

Now, this week's food competition part one.

As you know, last week's food competition

resulted in the women eating PB&J all week.

This week, it's a whole new ball game.

To prepare for this food competition,

we'll each get to request three grocery items

that we've been craving ever since we came

into the Big Brother House.

Just tell me what you want, and I'll

write all these requests onto these ba*ls, one item per ball.

When we're done, I'll return the ba*ls to the storage room,

and we will await further instructions.

The ba*ls weren't tennis ba*ls.

They were, like, these weird spongy

kind of hard spongy ba*ls.

- All right, veggie burgers. - Great.

Protein powder, that's what I want.

Nice.

Shrimp, big ones.

Toaster Strudel.

Chocolate cake.

[laughter]

[applause]

I like what I like.

Y'all like what y'all like.

Part of the food competition went pretty well.

We got a very diverse food selection.

Let's hope that no one drops the ball on part .

[music playing]

[cheering]

This week's food competition is called Catch of the Day.

When the whistle sounds, approximately ba*ls

will come flying over these walls from every direction--

[laughter]

About one ball every seconds.

Now, one grocery item is written on each ball that

comes over the wall, and of those ba*ls

contains the food items that we specifically requested.

We win anything that you guys catch and place in these bags.

We lose anything that touches the ground.

[muted]

Pick up any ball that has touched the ground,

or you and the ba*ls you've caught thus far

will be disqualified period.

Are you ready to play ball with Big Brother?

[cheering]

Watch that corner behind the basketball hoop.

There's one right there.

[yelp]

Here it comes.

Ready.

[SHOUTING] I got it.

I got it.

[shouting]

At one point, I hadn't caught any.

I'm like, oh Lord, please let me catch

a few of these food ba*ls.

[SHOUTING] I got it.

[interposing voices]

I'll literally, like, fracture my entire body just to,

like, win.

I felt like a little kid.

And the ba*ls were coming.

It was just like a big game.

Nice. Nice.

Nice job.

Catch it in like this.

Bring them in like an egg toss.

You got it?

You got it?

I got it.

Oh jeez, Mike, get one.

I got it.

I got it I got it.

Move out of my way.

Nice, nice.

You've heard the expression hitting the wall, you know,

in relation to physical activity?

Today, I literally hit the wall.

Get it Will.

Oh my god.

Go, go, go.

Good one, Mike.

Boogie.

[SHOUTING] Short, short, short, short.

Bunky.

[squeal]

Bunky, when he actually caught one, he was like [shriek]..

He let out this shriek of joy that was so funny.

[shouting]

I was really excited for Mike.

And he had all those ba*ls, and I was getting excited because I

was going to get more food.

Yeah, Monica.

[whistle]

[chatter]

I was happy that I caught three ba*ls.

And I don't think I missed that many.

We are so screwed you guys.

No, we're not.

What I won for the group is

Soy nuts.

Veggie burgers.

And let's see, Cherry tomatoes.

[applause]

I'm going to make you look like a hero

compared to what I got.

I got us cream cheese.

[applause]

Cream cheese, all right.

And lemons.

[applause]

Snow crab legs.

[cheering]

[applause]

Yes.

That's awesome.

I know some people refer to their stuff around here

as the hog, but I got the bacon.

[applause]

Tuna.

[applause]

Everybody get up and clap your hands for them shrimp.

[cheering]

[applause]

Shrimp and snow crab legs.

[cheering]

When I was looking at everyone else's ba*ls,

when I was sitting at the table, I thought,

I'm a really huge loser.

Although it's me, I could have had ba*ls,

and I still would have felt like I was a big huge loser.

What I won for the group is, Krista and Mike,

breaded chicken patties.

[cheering]

And frozen pizza pockets.

[cheering]

I only think Nicole caught two,

but they were two really fantabulous catches.

I think you will agree.

I didn't do great either.

I did, however for Nicole, win egg substitute.

[cheering]

Chocolate cake, chocolate cake--

Asparagus.

[cheering]

And chocolate cake.

[cheering]

[chatter]

I really did enjoy seeing everyone come together

as a team and working together for the betterment

of the group.

[cheering]

I want you to know, I really don't have a problem with you

sleeping up here if you're sore and that floor

is bothering you.

The floor doesn't bother me a bit, but I appreciate it.

You're very thoughtful.

Bunky and Kent and slumbering in the Head

of the Household room.

I know that Kent has a snoring problem,

so we kind of keep him secluded for the benefit

of the entire household.

Somehow Bunky and Kent have forged a bit of a friendship.

I don't really know how it happened.

I thought Kent would be very h*m*.

You know, it used to be sickos, weirdos, and freaks.

Now it's alternative lifestyle.

I mean, he totally fits the profile/demographic.

He's a -year-old man from the South.

It's your right to be g*y.

But don't come throw it in my face and try to tell me it's

normal.

Through default, [chuckle] I kind of

inherited the Head of the Household room, which I'm

really not complaining about.

And Bunky likes the floor.

I've asked him to come and share the bed with me.

Hey, the bed's nice and soft, buddy.

That's OK.

No, thank you.

I told him he could sleep with me,

but he had to wear, like, a shirt,

and pants, and socks, and shoes, and gloves, and a hat.

But other than that--

If it bothers you, let me know.

You can sleep in here, and I'll sleep on the floor.

Nah.

I'm cool, man.

I would be very uncomfortable sleeping in the bed with Kent.

So I was like, screw it.

I'll just sleep on the floor.

Oh shut up.

[inaudible]

He's trying to get the g*y guy into bed.

[grunt]

I thought all those nights snuggling

in bed in the Head of Household room really

meant something to you. But obviously, it didn't.

I was faking.

You were.

I know that.

I know that now.

Somehow, those guys have found some common ground,

some things talk about, some things to share.

I don't know what's going on to be honest with you.

[chuckle]

You want some eggs with that?

Seriously, I'll make you some eggs.

Don't try to make up to me now, Bunky.

You've hurt me deeply.

You've cut me.

Bunky's relationship with Kent, I think he found--

he feels safe with Kent.

Like Kent will protect him from any negative vibes

going on in the house.

No, I'm just going to have, like, a bacon, lettuce,

and tomato sandwich using these little cherry tomatoes.

Which I don't know how that works but--

And you don't want any egg on it?

No, no, no.

Where's your Tupperware you were talking about?

Do you see any under there?

Oh, I thought you had, like, your own personal Tupperware.

Oh, [muted].

You must really think I'm a f*g bringing my own Tupperware.

What?

I brought my Mary Kay products.

But, yeah, that's Tupperware.

Is that what this is?

[noise]

You're angry, Bunky.

Bunky was more worried about telling Kent

that he's g*y than anybody else.

[interposing voices]

I didn't see any.

So there's no sandwich stuff?

Just because I didn't see any doesn't mean there's not any.

And once he told Kent, everything was fine,

and they've been buddies ever since.

I respect the fact that he's still

willing to treat me like a human being and befriend me,

and I appreciate that.

I believe Bunky does trust me.

And I admire him for the sensitivity

that he has to others and how he doesn't judge people.

I think he knows I genuinely like him.

Because he is a he's a super individual.

Is it me, or is everybody getting

a little weird around here?

I get weird when I get bored, so I apologize to you guys.

That's not like a little psychotherapy

could take care of that.

You need a lot of psychotherapy.

It's the people who don't think they need

it are the ones who need to go.

[chuckle]

Kent sleeps in the bad, and Bunky just has a pallet

on the floor that he sleeps in.

And Kent covers him up when he's sleeping.

I just think it's cute.

[lullaby playing]

Good night, you old h*m*.

[chuckle]

Good night, you old grump.

[chuckle]

[laughter] What do you think about that?

The Untouchables are myself, Krista, and Hardy.

[laughter]

What the Untouchables stand for

is just people that understand each other without even

having to say anything.

You know, there's an automatic trust.

Well, you ain't special.

[chuckle]

Not.

In my book, Monica and Krista are two

people that I sincerely trust.

[chatter]

Dude, there's, like, glasses of wine, like, laying around.

OK, I'm savoring my glass of wine.

[interposing voices]

[chuckle]

You sound like Betty Rubble.

[chuckle]

You do.

I find Shannon to be a complete fraud, a fake--

[laughter]

Oh my god.

Someone that I am very uncomfortable being around.

Because I don't think anything she says, or how she acts,

is her true self.

But was Will out here smoking or what?

She really-- I don't think she has any social skills.

No, it was actually uh--

He was holding the cigarette for Hardy.

I don't think she ever had to have social skills.

Oh, OK.

You're not supposed to be smoking.

I just had a couple of hits. Then I put it out.

You gave it up.

Does that give you some, like, high?

Do you get, like, a high from that and stuff?

And so she never thought that it was important to develop

social skills.

Because she doesn't care about anybody but Shannon.

Actually, I did get a head rush, but it made me sick.

That's why I put it out.

It made you sick though?

Oh, I can't do that because I'll puke.

Cigarette smoking and sitting around a table playing cards

is just not great fun to me.

OK, so what do I do?

So I breathe, like, regular normal?

And I'm just thinking shut up.

Like, suck it into your lungs and spew it out.

Like, she wanted to try smoking.

I'm not sure if it was her trying

to integrate and seem like more of a, you know, in the group.

Put it in your mouth--

[laughter]

And suck in.

But, um, it did nothing but annoy everybody.

[laughter]

[inaudible]

You all feel like this every single day?

No, we don't get high off of it.

It wears off.

Oh my.

Shannon's always making comments about how healthy

she is and how smoking is so bad and disgusting,

and then she's smoking last night.

It just shows, once again, what a phony

and what a hypocrite she is.

Will.

[laughter]

[music playing]

I guess you could say I just had an epiphany that I'm

an absolute total b*tch.

Everybody hates me.

I'm a complete moron.

I'm a self-centered, egotistical, complete psycho.

And it's just, I guess, hard to find

that out on national television, especially when you don't know.

And I guess I just found out that I'm all those things.

I mean, I've said this to the group before.

It's very hard for me to take constructive criticism,

and I guess that's what this is all about.

I'm not better than anybody else.

And that if anybody wants to do anything,

they can always ask me for help with anything.

It's easier to see only the bad, I guess, in people

and not always the good.

And people choose to see that.

No matter what, I always try to take away a positive thing

from some person too.

Well no but, mama, your body is perfect right now, so

when you do start working out--

I can't help it that I have nothing in common

with some of these people.

And it still doesn't make me a nasty person to them.

But at the same time, I guess this

is just what it's all about.

Wait a sec.

Talk to me.

I just had a bad epiphany.

Well, about what?

About being a total b*tch.

No, you're not.

I love you.

Come on now.

It's not like that.

It's not like that, baby.

Don't you worry about a thing.

OK?

Tonight, I have to nominate two people for eviction.

The bottom line is that, you know,

no one should necessarily assume that they're safe

and get too big for their britches.

And because, you know, if you cross me,

you're going to be at the top of my hit list,

no matter who you are.

Are people going to nominate me?

I don't know.

I've just been hearing little things.

Bad about me?

No, just, like, on who they would

nominate and stuff like that.

But I can't hear the whole thing.

Tell me if I'm in danger.

Kind of.

I think all of us have a reason to be

nervous about nominations.

If he thinks that I'm the one that

was saying whatever to Autumn about him,

then he could put me up.

It's all totally up in the air.

Patience, my man, patience.

If I had patients I'd be a doctor.

[chuckle]

Everyone's a comodian.

Before the nomination, I had a bad feeling.

And Hardy came to me and gave me-- you know,

he had a little deal on the table.

I just-- I think that--

All's I'm asking you is that if you get Head of Household

that you not nominate me.

That's all I'm asking. - I know.

I know. I just--

And I think for some reason you doubt that I'm not going--

for some reason, I think you'd doubt that I'll nominate

you if you tell me no new deal.

I don't want you to think that.

No, I think that, you know--

oh, I think I'm very eligible for nomination.

I don't think I'm safe at all.

I'm putting this week in your hands for yourself.

I'm not asking you for saving grace forever.

I'm asking for when you get Head of Household,

just don't nominate me.

And I'm willing to do the same for you right now.

And If you tell me no, I'm going to put you up.

If you tell me, yes, you'll do that for me,

I won't put you up.

Just take your time.

But before I put the box in all you have to do is--

if you say yes to me, then I'm assuming that, yes, we agreed

to a deal that if you get--

when you get Head of Household-- if you get Head of Household

I won't be nominated.

But don't you want the answer sooner so you can

make a play for somebody else?

I mean, you've got to look out for yourself.

Oh, I am.

You know what I mean?

I'm giving you first dibs.

Of course, I'd rather know sooner than later, but--

I'll give you an answer within, like, minutes.

Is that good? - How about a half hour?

A half hour? OK, fair enough.

[music playing]

[WHISPERING] He's not putting me up,

but he's trying to do what, like, we did.

You know, you know, like, he's trying to do what we always

talked about, which was, you know,

make people think you're going to get put up.

I don't think he's going to.

OK If he puts up both of us, I'm going to sit

there and cry at the table.

I will bawl.

I'll be like--

It doesn't matter.

But it will look good and make him look like an as*h*le.

It doesn't matter. I don't care.

Whatever.

[WHISPERING] People are starting to act like Hardy

is real smitten with Krista.

[WHISPERING] Really?

[WHISPERING] So that may turn into a sex thing.

[WHISPERING] So you think that Hardy's

thinking with his lower brain?

[WHISPERING] He may be.

Oh, come on.

You're a straight man.

You talk to him.

Smack him out of it.

[music playing]

Were there conferences in here?

All right, so hear me out.

I thought of something.

I want to offer this up Think about putting

me up against Bunky, however the chips may fall.

And then instead of one person, the offer you gave me,

looking out for you next week, you'd have three or four,

depending if I stay, immunity.

It would require a bit of trust, but Nicole and Krista--

I'm not looking for a package deal.

I'm asking you and you only.

You have a great opportunity to knock off a likable person.

Maybe that's me.

You know what I'm saying?

If I were you, I would try to get

a likable person out of here.

Will or Shannon, they can go any time.

You know what I mean?

It's, like, when I'm Head of Household again,

I need to get the most likable person out of here.

Because those are the people that if I happen to--

Are you saying that would be me?

You would be a likeable person?

No, I'm not saying that at all.

What I'm saying is everyone has created this Chilltown

versus the rest of the house.

That's bull-bull-[muted] That's absolute bull-bull-[muted]..

And if I was you, is what I'm saying,

I don't want to be here in the final few weeks

with the likeable people, like whoever Monica, Bunky, whoever.

Because then if it comes down to you and a likable person--

you know what I'm saying?

Are you saying I'm not likable?

No, you're likable, but there are

people who are really likable.

You know what I'm saying?

I understand.

It doesn't do you much good.

I mean, I could be that likeable person.

And if you have to do that, I totally understand.

I just-- for me, it would feel to me

like I was making a deal behind people's backs

and sparing myself at the expense of someone

that has been good to me.

And I would feel weird doing that, so I have to--

if it's just about that and you don't want to consider

anything else, I have to decline just out

of respect for those people.

And, you know, I would do the same for you.

That's cool.

- All right, man. - No problem.

You're the best.

There's a pecking order basically, and everyone in here

is on the hit list, my hit list.

And the people that are the most clear and present danger to me

are going to go first.

[music playing]

[music playing]

It's just a bad day.

[music playing]

I mean, he's just not thinking,

and he's pissing off the wrong people.

And that's interesting once his power is over

and then he's back in the pool.

Yeah.

One of my responsibilities as Head of the Household

is to prepare the nomination box for the nomination ritual.

[music playing]

After I take the keys off of the Memory Wall,

I place the keys of those who are not nominated

for eviction into the key box.

Those HouseGuests are safe.

The keys of the two nominated people

go into a red velvet bag.

So if the HouseGuest key isn't pulled tonight,

that means that they are nominated for eviction.

Guys.

[whistle]

Hey guys, I need you to gather around the campfire.

Guys, I need you to gather around the--

[music playing]

I think I sat right here by you last time too.

[music playing]

It is an interesting unique position to hold.

Because, you know, basically you're

holding the future of at least one person in your hands.

And a lot of people have had high hopes to go the distance

and to win.

Unfortunately, I have to be the one to bring

that to an end for them.

As you guys know, this is the time

when two people are nominated to be evicted from the house.

OK?

This is simply another part of the game,

so we know it has to happen.

Personally, I don't have any hard feelings against anyone,

so just keep that in mind.

And keep in mind, again, that this is a game,

so I hope you guys understand.

Fair enough?

Fair enough?

All right, let's rock.

Here we go.

[music playing]

Monica, you are safe.

Mike, you are safe.

Krista.

Kent, you are safe.

Nicole, you are safe.

Bunky, you are safe.

Uh, I'll let you guys know, Shannon, I nominated you,

and Will I nominated you.

It's nothing really personal.

Shannon, I nominated you because I just never really,

for whatever reason-- it was, like, maybe

our personalities don't necessarily click completely.

But I've never really felt like complete closeness,

or what have you, or an openness, or whatever.

Will, I nominated you for most of the same reasons.

It's absolutely nothing personal.

And hopefully when this is all over, we can all--

like, if we see each other right after,

which I certainly hope that we can all get together

and have a couple drinks and couple

laughs about all of this stuff.

So that's basically it.

Those are the nominations for this week,

and I wish the two of you good luck.

And that's it.

Wow, that was probably about the cowardest thing

I've ever seen in my entire life.

Do you want to give an explanation for that while I'm

here so I can hear it.

Well considering that Will and I are the closest.

But, you know, we all have our opinions.

Just like my opinion it's--

Closest to who?

Will and I are the closest in the whole house.

To who? Each other?

Yeah.

What does that have to do with me?

Nothing.

Just what I said.

You can take it however you want.

All right.

That's fine.

[music playing]

No sweat for anybody here.

Everybody's good.

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for everyone.

When I started out, I said that I

would do anything to win.

I saw people doing anything to win,

and it completely turned my stomach.

One of those two definitely needs to leave,

and we'll see what the rest of the household

has to say about it.

Hardy is a marked man now.

That was just a dumb idea.

My prediction is one of us is leaving this way,

and Hardy is leaving next week.

This was not a difficult decision at all.

It was simply a matter of when I got the opportunity.

I said for the past two weeks that as soon

as I get the opportunity, I'm going to start taking

these people out one by one.

That's what I fully intend on doing.

But this is simply the beginning, not the end.

If you ask for something, you're going to get it.

If you put two people up against each other who

care about each other, you know, it's not like one of them

is going to lay down and just be like, oh, you know,

my heart's broken.

The other one is going to come back and try to stab

you in the heart twice as hard.
