Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother "--

Adria's nomination sent shockwaves through the house.

I've nominated Will and Marvin.

How you pick me, and you've got people who got alliances,

and I ain't got nobody?

NARRATOR: And angered her alliance.

Why?

Why Will?

NARRATOR: As the alliance crumbled,

Diane played both sides.

I was

thinking--

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, her relationship

with Drew blossomed.

In the real world I would probably

think that he was my boyfriend.

NARRATOR: At the veto competition

Adria continued her winning streak.

Adria, you are the winner of the veto competition.

This whole week is going to be all about Adria.

NARRATOR: And she hoped to strike a deal.

Just think about where you are, and think about what

opportunities that you have.

I ain't begging for no veto.

All right, well, I enjoyed our conversation.

NARRATOR: Frustrated, Adria went on the defensive.

If it comes down to a tie, I think that would be awesome

because I actually would like to be

the one who makes the decision as to which one goes.

NARRATOR: But at the veto meeting,

both Marvin and Will stood strong,

and Adria showed no mercy.

I have chosen not to exercise the power of veto today.

NARRATOR: Who will be evicted next--

Marvin or Will?

And with the house divided, will Adria

get to continue her reign of power by breaking a tie?

Find out at the first live eviction vote of the season,

tonight on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

Good evening.

I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother ."

It's day inside the "Big Brother" house,

and the united front that voted to evict Jase last week

is starting to collapse.

Adria, the current head of household,

shocked the house by putting Will,

the registered nurse from New York City, up for eviction.

Joining Will up on the block for the third time in a row

is Marvin, the mortician from South Carolina.

Before this hour is over, six houseguests

will cast their votes live to evict either Will or Marvin.

If there is a tie it will be up to Adria, the current HoH,

to cast the deciding vote.

But first, the house is divided into two strong alliances.

Diane has promised her loyalty to the twins,

but now finds herself questioning that decision.

Do you want to talk to me?

Like, the reason I have been so bitter and--

and it's been such a hard week for me is because Adria looked

me in the eyes and made a pinky swear to me the second week

we were here that she would never vote me out.

OK, I give my pinky because I can't

do a handstand without that.

The house has kind of divided itself into two divisions.

The first division, which is my team,

is myself, Natalie, Drew, Diane, and then

also I've picked up Cowboy.

And then the other side of the house

is Nakomis, Karen, and Will, with Marvin

standing there out on his own.

I think they're trying to knock out a strong player

first, which is you.

And that's why she walked around the house

the other day, telling everybody,

go ahead and force a tie.

Force a tie.

That's what I want, because she wants to make the decision.

Having Adria be the one to break the tie--

I want it to be that way, simply for the fact

that I want it to take some heat off me.

I am stuck in between two alliances in the house,

one being Will, Karen, and Nakomis,

and the other alliance is Adria, her sister, Natalie, and Drew.

OK?

So--

Drew and I were in the HoH room with the twins.

I left first.

Drew was in there for like, an extra minutes

when he told me he would be right out.

I-- I don't know what it was that

paranoid me so bad about Drew being

in the HoH room with them.

I kind of think maybe they did it on purpose,

and kept them in there as long as they possibly

could to maybe paranoid me.

I don't know what's right, I don't know what to believe.

I don't know who to trust in this house.

I'm trying not to let the paranoia get to me

because it is just paranoia.

Mhm.

OK.

Late last night, like : in the morning,

I walk into the kitchen and I see two people like, split up.

Like you see c*ck when the light comes on, you know?

They just split real quick.

Of course I'm going to stop and think, why is Natalie

talking to Marvin, anyways?

These two people hate each other.

And of course I'm going to think, obviously,

they're strategically planning something,

or maybe already have.

I said, was that Marvin?

And she's like, uh, yeah, we were just eating.

I was like-- just eating?

[laughter]

What was going on in the kitchen that night?

I didn't have my contacts in, and you ran like--

you ran like the dickens.

Um-- I don't even know.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

I don't know how I feel about anybody.

My heart's with them, my heart's with Will,

and it's getting to that point to where I like everybody.

And I think it's hurting me.

I think that-- I think that Adria and Natalie

are a lot different.

Adria seems to be on a power trip this week, though.

This HoH thing.

I wouldn't like that, and you wouldn't

like that when we're HoH.

I-- I don't know if I trust the twins and Drew--

I mean, obviously I trust drew.

Right.

And like, am I gonna be attracted to this girl

after she turns against me after this game?

No.

For you to get your head out of your gutter

and play this game--

I'm taking a nap, so if you need anything

I'll be in the cloud room, snoozing.

All right, baby.

The others will holler at you, baby.

All right.

This sucks.

What?

Drew, like, seriously, it makes me sick to my stomach

how much I trust Will, and how much

I don't trust the other people.

Can you help me with something real quick?

What?

When you were stuck in the middle,

how did you get through it?

You just let it pan out?

I can't do it anymore.

I can't be stuck in between two groups.

Are you voting-- who are you gonna vote to evict?

I don't know.

Me, neither.

I want to be put up next week.

Do you really?

Yeah.

Put me up and kick me out.

Seriously.

Just cause.

Seriously.

Well, I'm not-- it's not up to me now.

Well, I know.

So I'm probably right there with ya.

Put me up and kick me out.

I'm dead serious.

Dude, she's like, stuck between two sides.

So she's like, freaking out, I think.

I love you both, though, and whichever one goes,

I'll miss you dearly.

So whichever one of you stays, me and you to the end.

It's time to talk with the houseguests

and see how they're doing.

Hello, everyone.

- Hey, Julie. - Hey, Julie.

What's up?

Karen.

Hi, Julie.

Hi, there.

Now, last week Jase was evicted.

Yeah.

What is life in the house like without Jase?

Clean and not sticky.

Simply put.

Yes.

OK.

I'll accept that.

Diane.

Hi.

Hi there.

How has it been spending your second week in a row on PB&J?

I knew you were going to ask me that.

Um-- it's not fun, and when I leave the "Big Brother" house

I'm never eating peanut butter and jelly

for the rest of my life.

Did you like it before you went

into the "Big Brother" house? - No.

No.

OK.

And now you like it even less?

Yes.

I second that.

Michael.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, you have had a lot of different looks

while living in the house. - Yes, ma'am.

Right?

What is the most useful fashion advice you have

gotten from your housemates?

Well, you went a little tough on there.

I would have to say I think a lot of them

like the clean shaved look, and hair kind of up and going.

And you like it, as well?

I do.

When I spike up my hair, it feels like-- my son does that,

so it just feels like I'm doing that for him, as well.

Thanks, Michael.

Thank you.

Nakomis.

Yeah?

You have lived in the house for almost seven weeks now.

What would you give for a day in the outside world?

Um-- I would give my right arm for a car ride.

Blindfolded, handcuffed, and thrown

in the trunk of any random car.

Well, Nakomis, you might actually

get a day outside of the "Big Brother" house, after all.

Houseguests, one of you will win a chance to leave the house

and appear on an episode of the CBS daytime drama

"The Young and the Restless."

[cheering]

Who will it be?

Who will it be?

Well, that decision is up to the television audience.

It is America's choice, and their votes

will determine the winner.

So good luck, everyone.

Right arm, guys.

And I'll be back--

I'll be back to talk to all of you a little bit later.

Thank you, Julie.

Which houseguest do you want to see win a walk on role

on "The Young and the Restless?"

Go to cbs.com and cast your vote.

Polls open at the end of tonight's show,

and close Saturday at midnight eastern time.

And one week from tonight, find out

who won and see how this houseguest spent

their day in Genoa City, USA.

Coming up, the live eviction vote.

Of the nine remaining houseguests, only six can vote.

Marvin and Will are not eligible to vote.

Neither is Adria, the current head of household.

In the event of a tie Adria will make the final decision.

Let's go to the diary room where Karen,

Drew, and Natalie give their thoughts on the two nominees.

Having will and Marvin on the block

together is really psychologically

tormenting the hell out of me.

I think that Marvin is such a good player that he's also

a threat to me down through.

Some of my trust for WIll has diminished.

I'm a little scared of Will because Will has always

been with Karen and Nakomis.

I probably could continue without Will,

but I don't want to.

Marvin is kind of in his own state,

so it's hard to see where Marvin would go when

it comes to trust in this game.

If I kept Will in another week,

I would win the trust of Will, and Nakomis, and Karen.

And this is probably one of the ugliest nominations

that I have seen yet.

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

Hip clubs, fancy clothes, good friends.

That is what Will's life is like in the city that never sleeps.

How do his friends in New York feel about Will

being nominated for eviction?

Will's definitely a New Yorker at heart.

He may be from Mississippi, but he thrives in the city.

When you grow up in the south and you're g*y,

you know that eventually one day you're going to get out,

and you're going to go somewhere where you can be your--

Be yourself.

Yeah.

Will is walking drama, hilarity--

like, your best friend all rolled into one.

Life with Will is nonstop entertainment.

I love those pants.

These?

Will has a very unique fashion sense.

I have the coolest pair of white tuxedo that--

I forgot them, and I'm so mad.

He likes to combine different clothing, different pants

and blazers that some people might

not think to put together.

But he pulls it off.

He just kind of rocks it.

I really like--

You pick it, dawg.

You make me look good.

I really like this one.

You can watch Will on the show--

whether it be the alpha male straight man--

I'm glad you a cool dude.

I ain't going around now, like Walter

Mondale, handing out flyers.

Will sucks, vote for me.

I love you.

Or the alternative girl.

Dream guy would be somebody with like, [inaudible]

growth of beard, tattoos.

There's this one guy that--

Me and you have very similar tastes.

Or the cowboy.

I mean, he finds a way to connect

with every single one of them.

I can't wait until like, I'm in the place where

I can do this, like, for real.

You know, I think in a lot of respects,

you know, that's a quintessential New Yorker.

It's funny.

When you meet Will's friends, they kind of

hit every single range of every single personality,

from every kind of background.

He has such a big heart.

He'd do anything for his friends or his family,

and just a very likeable, wonderful person.

To Will and $,?

Oh, yeah.

Now that Will's gone, a lot of his friends, like Cara,

and Carol, and I get together every week to watch

the "Big Brother" show.

Because you know, with Will gone,

you know, we have to get together to kind

of bond over the episodes.

Of course, you all can see now that I

have nominated Will and Marvin both for our nominees

for eviction today.

I cannot believe that she did that.

She's evil.

Meanwhile, she was crying three weeks ago.

So Marvin--

Yes, Will?

The black and the g*y.

Black-- that's what I was about to say.

It's the black guy against the g*y guy.

I like Marvin.

I do.

I like him a lot.

Me too.

Yeah?

Up until this point Will really

hasn't been threatened too much, and so he's really

come across as very passive--

you know, very low key.

But the truth is Will knows what he wants,

and he's there to get it.

I came to play this game, and it totally

refocuses my priorities.

I would really love Will to win this.

I think that he deserves it, and that he has the ability

to stick it out to the end.

I really do think he does, but at the same time

I'd love to have him come home.

I'm worried about these twins.

I'm very worried about these twins.

I want to see them go.

These twins obviously have an agenda,

and they're about to play dirty, and they're after our boy.

It's time to talk privately with Adria,

who is alone in the head of household bedroom.

Hi, Adria.

Hi, Julie.

Now remember, the other houseguest cannot hear you,

so feel free to say what's on your mind.

Now, you nominated Will and Marvin for eviction.

How hard was it for you to make that decision?

When you are HoH you cannot predict how

hard this situation will be.

I thought that this week was actually

going to be very simple because I felt that I had such

a strong team behind me that regardless of my decision,

that they would support my decision and respect that.

And honestly, Julie, I've learned a lot this week,

and I've been very surprised about some of the reactions

I did get.

Well, why do you think the house reacted

so strongly to that decision?

I honestly feel that perhaps my team wasn't as

strong as I thought they were.

That they trusted my decision, and actually

believed in the support that I thought was there.

And so with that, that has revealed to me

that their support for me probably would not

be there for me in the future.

You were very outspoken with your housemates,

to the point of challenging them to tie tonight's vote.

Why?

Because I really feel at this point

that it is in the best interests for me

to take this decision upon myself,

and it would be an honor if my houseguests did

choose to make their decision into a tie.

Because I would rather take on the responsibility

to be reflected as Adria alone because I feel,

unfortunately, Natalie has gotten a lot of unfair kickback

off of my HoH position.

And I feel really bad that she can't

play this house as an individual,

just like the rest of the people.

I think that they've really turned and hit

her with a lot of upsets. - Mhm.

Well, after tonight you will no longer be head of household.

Are you worried about being a target for eviction next week?

I'm always a target when I'm not HoH,

and I've realized that from day one.

I think that early on in the game,

with my relationship with Drew, when he put me up on the block

that I gained a lot of respect in that position.

And so therefore I feel that I'm never alone,

and I do have my faith, and I'm very proud to have that.

And I just really am rooting for Natalie because she's

my only guarantee at this time. - All right.

Thank you, Adria, and you can head back to the living room.

Thank you, Julie.

You're welcome.

Coming up, tonight's live vote for eviction.

Who will be next to exit the "Big Brother" house?

Will or Marvin?

For now, let's go back to the diary room

where Diane, Michael, and Nakomis give

their thoughts on the nominees.

Marvin is pretty damn upset with those twins.

I would love to keep him around in this game

purely to see him put them up.

Marvin's willing to work for the good of the team,

and I do have to give him that.

I love Will, and I think he's very trustworthy.

It's really hard to trust Marvin.

You don't know what Marvin's thinking,

and that's really not a good point.

The thing is with Will is he has a huge alliance.

By taking one of the huge alliance

is a big factor for me in this game.

Will's willing to sacrifice himself at any moment

for the good of the cause.

It sucks to have to be able to choose between them.

Welcome back.

We are just moments away from tonight's

live vote for eviction.

Who will be leaving the "Big Brother" house?

Will, the registered nurse from New York City,

or Marvin, the mortician from South Carolina?

Tonight's evicted houseguest has an important responsibility.

He will be the first member of the jury of seven

that chooses the winner of "Big Brother ."

Let's go back to the living room and talk with the houseguests.

Will, Marvin, your fellow housemates

will be casting their votes live in just a few moments.

I'm now going to give you each a chance

to plead your case to everyone.

Choose your words carefully, because they could determine

whether you stay or go.

Will, you're first.

First of all, Julie, I'd just like

to start by saying to my friends and family watching,

I want to thank you for your love

and support because I feel you daily,

and it's because of you that I've

had the drive and determination to make it this far.

And then to all my wonderful and amazing housemates,

this has been a truly eye-opening, engaging,

enlightening experience.

And whether I leave today or whether I have a few more,

I just want to say that I will live

a more committed, fulfilled, and grateful life because

of what we've all shared.

And I love this man here, and that's all I have to say.

Oh, that's so nice.

Thank you, Will.

All right, Marvin.

It's your turn.

About the same thing he said.

I thanked everybody last week.

Family, you know I love you.

I ain't got to tell you that every week.

I had a great time with you guys and stuff, and--

fellas, look out for me.

Don't forget, Texas no limit hold 'em poker.

You know how I roll.

Ladies, if you vote Will off, you'll still--

I'll act g*y one day a week so, you won't miss him.

Oh, god.

Oh my god, Brad Pitt looked gorgeous today.

So you'll still have that if you keep me here, one day a week.

All right? You heard that?

All right.

Now keep me in the house.

And I'll do my little vote for me dance.

Vote for me.

Thank you, Marvin.

Thank you, Will.

It is now time for the voting to begin.

Marvin and Will, you are not allowed to vote.

Neither is Adria, the current HoH.

One at a time the six houseguests

will enter the diary room and cast their votes.

Remember, you are not allowed to reveal your vote

to any of your housemates.

Michael, you're first.

Please go to the diary room.

Michael has wanted Marvin out of the house for a long time,

but his new allies, Adria and Natalie,

are considering keeping Marvin another week.

How will Michael vote?

Hello, Michael.

Hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Will.

Thank you, Michael.

Please go back to the living room and send in Karen.

Thank you.

Karen.

Karen formed an alliance with Will the very first week.

Will and Nakomis are two of Karen's closest friends

in the house.

Will Karen continue to support her allies?

Hi, Karen.

Hi, Julie.

Please vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Marvin.

Thank you, Karen.

Please go back to the living room and send in Nakomis.

Thank you.

Nakomis was one of the twins' biggest supporters

when both began living in the house,

but she is part of an alliance with Will and Karen.

Which way will Nakomis vote?

Hi, Nakomis.

Hello.

Please tell us your vote now.

I vote to evict Marvin.

Thank you, Nakomis.

You can go back to the living room and send in Natalie.

Thank you.

So we have two votes to evict Marvin, one vote to evict Will.

Natalie, your turn.

Natalie's vote is critical to her strategy.

Which nominee does she think is less

likely to target her and Adria for eviction next week?

Hello, Natalie.

Hello.

Please reveal your vote.

I vote to evict Will.

- Thank you, Natalie. - Thank you.

Please had back to the living room and send in Drew.

OK.

Hey, Drew?

Drew is a man caught in the middle

between Diane's affection and Adria's influence.

Which side will Drew choose?

Hi, Drew.

Hi, Julie.

Please tell us your vote now.

I vote to evict Will.

Thank you, Drew.

Please head back to the living room and send in Diane.

All righty.

Diane.

So far we have three votes to evict Will, two for Marvin.

Just last week Diane told Adria that she would put Will up

for eviction, but has since questioned her decision

to be in the twins' alliance.

Diane's vote will determine where her loyalties lie.

Hi, Diane.

Hi, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

OK.

I vote to evict Marvin.

Thank you, Diane.

And you can head back into the living room.

OK.

The votes are tied.

It is three for Will, three for Marvin.

When we return, Adria, the current HoH,

will cast the deciding vote.

What will Adria do?

Stay with us.

Tonight's live vote ended moments ago,

and Will and Marvin are tied with three votes each.

It is up to Adria, the current head of household,

to break that tie.

How will Adria vote?

Let's head back to the living room and find out.

Houseguests, the votes are in.

And we have a tie.

Three votes for Will, three votes for Marvin.

Adria, as the current HoH you must now

decide which of these two men will

leave the "Big Brother" house.

Just a reminder, when Adria reveals her vote,

the evicted houseguest will have one minute

to say goodbye, gather his belongings,

and walk out the front door.

Adria, please stand and cast your vote to evict now.

Well, this has been an incredible week.

No doubt about it.

And I would like to say that with you guys' votes

today, that I do know that both of you guys

have created a special asset to this house.

As I said before in my nomination,

I think that I couldn't choose between either one of you then,

and I can't believe that I'm having to do that now.

I would like to just say that the friendship

that I've entered both of you guys,

I hope that I can continue on with that from here forth,

regardless of what happens in this house.

And I would also like to say, in conjunction with that,

that this has been a very tough week.

And having really not had either one of you guys talk with me,

I really don't know what to do.

So I've tossed a coin in my head,

and I think that honestly it's going

to be a sad day for everybody.

And I evict to choose Will.

I choose to evict Will from the house today.

Will, I have to make it official.

You have been evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

Thank you, Julie.

I love you, man.

I love you, baby.

Good luck.

It's all right.

Seriously.

I love you so much, Nakomis.

[inaudible]

Thank you.

I love you, baby.

I love you, man.

Yeah.

See ya.

I'll see ya.

For real, y'all.

Have fun.

Adria, if karma's--

now listen, now.

If karma's a boomerang, I'll see you sooner than later.

If what?

If karma is a boomerang, I'll see you sooner than later.

OK.

Thank you.

- Sorry. - No problem.

Thank you.

Come on in, Will. How are you?

Julie. What's up?

- How are you? - You look great.

- Welcome. - It's so good to see you.

So good to see you.

Please sit down.

Sit down.

Make yourself comfortable.

What's up?

You look adorable.

I'm gonna have some tea.

Just want to say I'm glad you guys weren't put

in this position this week, because I

think the next few weeks just might be better for you guys.

So-- And I wish you all luck, as well.

Well, Adria went to give you a hug goodbye as you--

Yes.

And repeat what you said to her.

I said if karma is a boomerang,

I will see you sooner than later.

I think that Adria has proven herself

to be very untrustworthy.

I think that she has put her true persona

out there into the house.

And you know, we were in a very tight--

what I thought was a supportive alliance.

And when she was up for nomination,

I really went to bat for her.

Pled long and hard for her case to stay in the house,

and then she turned around and not only nominated me

for eviction and assured me that I would be safe,

but then has just cast that tiebreaker deciding vote.

And it's just one of those things that-- like I said,

now I think people have realized who she is,

and how untrustworthy she actually is.

So good luck to her.

When she broke that tie, she said

she flipped a coin in her head. Do you believe that?

No, not at all.

Because I think that she knew that if I was in the house,

that she and her sister--

I think they've both taken themselves

to such a low level of gameplay, and they knew that I knew that.

And so this was definitely a well

thought out move on their part.

Well, early on in the game the two of you

made a promise to each other.

You and Adria made a pinky swear--

- A pinky swear. yes. - To watch each other's backs.

Yes.

What happened?

You know, I don't know.

It's just one of those things that--

again, I'll probably always and forevermore be mystified.

I think that--

I made a very solemn swear on my life,

and then Nakomis did the pinky swear, and so did Adria.

And I think that she's made several promises that she's

broken thus far in the game.

And so my only advice to the remaining houseguests

is that, you know, they look at this history

that she's had and really take that into account.

And I think that she'll be with me in the sequester house

sooner than later, like I said.

From the nomination ceremony to the veto ceremony to this,

everything this week has shocked you.

Why? - Yeah.

I tell you what, it's just--

it's all come out of nowhere, because especially for someone

like Adria, when they were revealed that they were

the twins, and throughout their time in the house

when they were nominated for eviction,

I've always been there as a %, full support system.

And also, it was very hurtful to me for her to say--

I think that her reasoning behind it,

she wasn't strong enough to say that she made this decision

as an individual, and said that Jesus

spoke to her in the middle of the night in the HoH room.

And I thought that that was just the saddest thing, because it

was so ironic that the two minorities in the house,

I think, were then placed on the block.

It was just-- it's just all been so much to handle,

and so I leave here, honestly, a better person.

Having learned a lot about character, and about trust,

and true friendship.

And I'll go forth with that.

Well, we had your fellow housemates tape goodbye

messages to you in the event you were evicted,

so let's hear what they had to say to you.

OK, great.

Will, I hope that you're not watching this tape right now

because if you are, you're not sitting on my lap

here in the "Big Brother" house, where you belong.

You've been one of my best friends in the house.

You're a straight up guy.

I'll tell you what, you've been kind

of an inspiration to watch inside the house,

to where you played the game.

You are a great person.

I am honored that we got to meet.

No hard feelings, man.

It's better for me in the game to try to make the pinky swear

alliance smaller.

Since you're gone that means that I'm, you

know, fueled with a new fire.

Feel safe knowing that, you know,

we'll take care of things.

You are one of the most beautiful people I've ever met.

I wish the best, and all the blessings.

Will, if you're watching this message

I will be very, very upset, and I'll probably

harbor some serious, hardcore anger throughout the rest

of this game.

You've done absolutely nothing wrong,

and you were treated very unfairly.

What are your thoughts?

So emotional.

It is such an emotional thing because you--

the friendships that you have in there, that you know are real

are very true and supportive.

And so I just wish all those girls

the best of luck in the world.

Wel--

Now two girls, apparently.

Who do you dislike more, Jase or Adria?

Oh, god.

Adria.

Hands down.

Easy decision, you know?

Well, this is not goodbye because we'll see you

back here on September st, where you

will help crown the winner-- - Exactly.

Best of luck to you, Will. - Thank you, Julie.
