[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother ," The Friendship

sent Howie out the door.

JULIE: Howie, you've been evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

- All right. - Tell everyone we say hi.

- Love you, Howie. - Love you, guys.

[whoosh]

NARRATOR: Outnumbered three to one, Janelle struck back.

JULIE: Congratulations, Janelle--

Yeah!

JULIE: --you are the new Head of Household.

[whoosh]

NARRATOR: And used the nominations to wreak

havoc in The Friendship.

If I put Maggie in, you gotta--

you'd vote off Ivette, right?

Yeah.

I will.

NARRATOR: At the nomination ceremony,

Janelle continued her plan.

I've nominated you, Ivette, and you, Maggie, for eviction.

[whoosh]

NARRATOR: In the final Veto competition,

The Friendship fought for survival.

[buzzer]

[ding]

Yes!

Oh my god, yes!

Yes!

Yes!

And the Power of Veto goes to Ivette.

At the Veto meeting, Ivette made a decision affecting the fate

of everyone in her alliance.

I will use the Veto to save myself.

April, you are the only person that I can nominate.

NARRATOR: With half a million dollars at stake,

The Friendship began to turn on itself.

And I know you're going to get pissed, and just get over it.

April, if you want the Veto, you can shove it up your a*s.

I hate this.

[whoosh]

NARRATOR: And Janelle used the conflict to her advantage.

You're so sweet and stuff.

Yeah.

[whoosh]

NARRATOR: Ultimately, Ivette was forced

to choose between friends.

April, I have to evict you.

JULIE: April, you have been evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

[whoosh]

NARRATOR: And part one of a three-part HOH competition

began.

Who will win this final, most important Head of Household?

And who will that Head of Household

take with her to the final two?

Find out tonight live on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

Good evening, I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother ."

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

and in less than five days, one Houseguest

will be walking out the front door with the half

million dollar grand prize.

It has come down to the final three--

Ivette, Janelle, and Maggie.

For the last several days, they have been competing

in a three-part Head of Household competition

to determine who will be the final and most powerful HOH.

The final round will take place live tonight,

and the new Head of Household must decide who to evict

and who to take with her to the final two.

Who will win HOH?

We'll find out tonight, and we'll

see the final eviction live.

But first, when we last saw Ivette, Janelle, and Maggie,

they were in a battle of endurance in round one

of the final HOH competition.

Who was the last person standing?

And which Houseguests were left behind

to battle it out in round two?

How you doing?

Just fine.

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, huh?

Yeah

So the game's called "Key to Safety,"

and you've got to balance yourself on this beam

while holding onto the key.

Does this thing move?

OK.

And then the safe started moving,

and that's when it got a little bit more complicated.

Got faster?

Yeah.

So it would, like, turn in different speeds

and different directions.

You know, go slow.

Then sometimes it goes fast, and then it would

go slow and then go fast again.

Is it going faster?

Mm-hmm.

Again?

Mm-hmm.

You guys, it's an honor to be next to you guys right now.

Me too.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm here too.

The last person standing wins the first round of the HOH

and, very importantly, the combination to the last safe.

There is so much at stake.

There wasn't a lot of talking at all.

We were silent.

I was too busy praying.

Ooh, fast.

My back hurts--

a lot.

You guys, what I did today, by saying bye to April,

I wish that not on my worst enemy.

[whoosh]

I can't believe I'm gonna do this,

but April, I have to evict you, and I'm so sorry.

It's OK.

I'm so sorry I have to evict you.

It's OK.

Having to make that decision, it was horrible.

That means one less person from The Friendship.

So there's two of us left here--

Maggie and myself.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sad.

I know.

It was nice to get rid of one of the Nerd Herders

because I know that they wanted to be in the final three

together.

And I really crushed their dreams to shreds.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

I'm sad.

I love her.

I think she played a great game, so it

was really sad to see her go.

[whoosh]

[music playing]

Uh-oh.

My hands are purple.

This thing is making me dizzy as hell.

What I would do for water.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, y'all.

I've got a lot left in me.

Oh, god.

Ah!

My god.

I almost fell off.

This game is so hard.

It's probably the hardest thing that I've done.

I haven't given birth yet, but I believe it would

be even harder than doing that.

You guys--

Mm-hmm?

I don't think I'm going make it.

Why?

I'm tired.

Oh, god.

I don't think I'm good at endurance.

Come on, Janelle.

I can't, Ivette.

Janelle, hold on, Janelle.

Come on, girl. We're doing fine.

Come on, Janelle. You can do it, Janelle.

Come on. - This is nothing.

Even though she's my enemy in this game,

I still care for her to try her best.

America thinks I'm horrible.

I've got good in me.

Oh.

Whoa.

[buzzer]

Ugh. - Good job, Janelle.

Good job, Janelle.

You did great.

Oh my god.

Good job, Janelle.

That was awful.

You did awesome, though.

I didn't feel too good today when

I lost the HOH competition.

I hope I didn't let my friends and family down.

I love you.

I love you.

I hate battling you on this.

I've taken so many things for the team,

and I know she's going to take you.

I gotta keep going on this because I don't

trust myself with skill girl.

Neither do I, especially against her.

Ivette and I had thought the first part of the HOH

would be an endurance, and then we

thought the second part would be a skill, like memorization.

Doing memorization, it's not one of my strongest traits, so.

And it's something that Janelle seems

to do really, really good at.

Ivetta, do you want what's in the gold safe?

It's not about the gold safe.

--care about the gold safe.

She's been wanting me out forever, more than you.

What does that have to do--

And the second she gets to vote me out, she's going to.

What does that have to do with this?

The way I see it, I know you're taking me.

I don't doubt that, and I know I'm taking myself.

Right.

Janelle's taking you.

I know it, Maggie.

But what does that have to do with this?

The biggest point that I was trying to get across to Maggie

is I win, I take Maggie.

Janelle wins at the final, she takes Maggie.

It's a win-win situation for Maggie.

She's gonna go to the final two.

I have a big feeling that you and I are

going to be sitting at the end.

But just in case it's me and her,

and she gets the final, you're going, Maggie.

And I'm happy for you.

I wish you would stop saying that.

I did not feel comfortable with the conversation.

I didn't like it at all.

Janelle has not given me one inclination

that she would take me.

I have no hints.

She doesn't-- we've never talked about it.

[music playing]

[buzzer]

I'm off.

You didn't fall.

I was pretty disturbed by the conversation we had just had,

and I actually lost focus and tripped.

You didn't fall.

When Maggie stepped off, I was so in shock.

I'm almost sure that she came off just for me.

What happened?

You didn't fall.

Maggie.

I fell.

Good job.

Good job.

Thanks.

Good job.

Ivette was not even excited.

I saw a look of--

was it fear?

You guys did really good.

Thank you.

I have just advanced to the third part of this game.

I have a shot at this money.

By winning the first part of the HOH competition,

I won the combination to the last gold safe.

[inaudible] [clapping]

Your prize is waiting for you--

- What? - --in the backyard.

What? - Oh, go get it!

Go get it, Ivetta!

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

What is it?

[screaming]

Let me in.

Touch it!

Oh my god!

Oh, it was a beautiful sight--

a pair of gorgeous Vespas.

Congratulations, you've just won a brand new pair

of Vespa LXV scooters--

These are great for Miami.

--and we've thrown in [inaudible] you need to start

zooming around town in style!

[screams]

Look out, South Beach.

I'm coming with my new Vespas.

Do you know how cute we're gonna look in these?

I want this one so bad, Ivette.

[inaudible], look.

Maggie and Janelle will be competing in part

two of the HOH competition.

Whoever wins this round will go head to head

with Ivette in part three.

Will it be Maggie or Janelle?

Stay with us.

[theme music]

[theme music]

After winning part one of the HOH competition,

Ivette has secured herself a place in the final round.

Maggie and Janelle are ready to compete in part two.

For both players, the stakes are high.

Losing this round could cost them the game

and a half million dollars.

Ooh.

That was fun.

[music playing]

We walked outside, and we saw a giant platform,

a row of numbers, and a loop with a key on it.

And you could tell that it was a giant, like, padlock.

Welcome to part two of the final HOH competition.

Janelle and Maggie, since you lost the endurance competition,

the two of you must now face off.

In front of each of you is a gigantic padlock.

On "go," you must pull off the covers

from the top of the padlock to reveal eight clues.

Once you think you know the answer to a clue,

rotate the combination dial to display your answer.

When you think you have all eight digits of the combination

in the correct order, run over to the other side

of the padlock and pull on the large silver loop.

If any of your numbers are incorrect,

the lock will not open.

The first Houseguest to put their key on the post

will lock in their position for the final HOH game.

I'm going to fight very hard because I

want to go head to head with Ivette

in the final HOH competition.

I was not allowed to stay outside for this competition,

so I had to stay inside and get panic attacks.

[air horn]

[music playing]

You had to run up on the platform and tear off tabs.

Underneath eight different tabs was a clue.

The answer to the clue was a number anywhere

between and .

Once you figured out what the answer to the clue was,

you had run back down and turn the dial

until it matched the answer.

The first one was the number of females

in the "Pressure Cooker."

I counted us girls.

[ding]

The second one was the number of times Veto not used.

That one I found very difficult. I figured if I had any of them

wrong, it would probably be that one.

[ding]

My strategy was I tried to be really fast when doing it.

I would do two, and then I would jump off and put the numbers.

And then I would do two more and jump off and do those numbers.

I had counted the pairs in my head.

That one I knew for certain.

[buzzer]

Number of Houseguests who had won Veto twice in a row,

and I knew that there had only been one player this year

that had done that, and that was James.

[ding]

The total number of menu items from "Snack Shack from Hell"

threw me off for a little bit.

I counted that there were six different things eaten.

Then I counted the bonus round with Eric and Michael as seven.

[buzzer]

[whoosh]

Number of votes to keep Rachel in the house

when she got evicted was my most difficult one.

I was kind of like, take a guess,

and then go on to the next one and come back to that one.

The number of the Houseguests that had won

HOH and veto in the same week, and I knew that was

three girls that had done that.

It was April, myself, and Rachel.

[ding]

The number of different Houseguests

that won the Power of Veto was not as difficult at all.

I just had to count it out.

That one came to me pretty easy.

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

I realized that I wasn't getting the combination right.

I couldn't figure out which answers I wasn't getting right.

The number of different Houseguests that

had won the Power of Veto--

Rachel won, James, Sarah, me, April, Maggie, Ivette--

.

[ding]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

The game was tiring intellectually.

You kept second-guessing your answers

and having to recalculate, and you were

competing against someone else.

It was a lot harder than it looked.

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

Every time I saw Maggie, she was going--

so I knew that she was really stuck, and I knew I was too.

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

I have no idea how many times I tried that lock.

I couldn't figure out which one of the questions I was missing.

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

Ah!

[claps]

That was hard.

Woo.

What a relief.

That was a frickin' miracle.

Janelle, you got it?

- She got me by one number. - Barely.

It was hard as hell.

Congratulations, girl.

Oh my god, I misinterpreted the third question.

I only got one wrong.

It's out of my hands who wins the next HOH.

I would absolutely prefer Ivette to win it because I

think that she'll pick me.

Ow.

Oh my god.

[music playing]

Oh my god, there's money!

Woo!

Oh my god.

Congratulations, final three Houseguests, on making

it this far in the game.

As one of you will be taking home the $, grand prize,

we wanted you to see just how much money that actually is.

Best of luck to each of you.

"Big Brother" Oh my god.

It was a clear table with stacks of money

just to remind us one of us three

is going to win a grand prize.

I've never seen that much money in my life.

This table is really cute.

[whoosh]

[music playing]

You got a checkmate?

Let's try again.

All right.

Have you been thinking about winning the game at all?

That was my ultimate goal, and I'd love to win the game.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Do you think you can beat Maggie?

I really am.

I really am.

You know you could beat me out there.

You know I get way too worked up.

Well, tomorrow, you really don't have to do anything.

You have a choice.

I mean, it comes to where you have to choose--

do you want the money or do you want a friend?

That's why I'm not even trying to think about it because--

But you need to think about it.

I mean, it's coming up.

It's a big decision tomorrow.

I mean, I know what I'm making.

I'm making my decision.

I'm going to pick you.

I can promise you that.

If you're at the end with me, you have the votes.

Janelle, if I [muted] won that money,

probably be wonderful for my family, you know what I mean?

It'd give them everything that they want.

If you want to win the money, you can't pick Maggie.

That's second place, not first.

And that's a fact.

It's time to go to the living room

and talk with the final three Houseguests.

Hello, ladies.

Hi, Julie.

Hi.

Again, congratulations on making it to the final three.

ALL: Thank you.

How excited are you guys?

Very excited.

It's awesome.

JULIE: Well, in less than five days, one of you

will be crowned the winner of "Big Brother ."

Yeah.

Yeah.

JULIE: You will be reunited with your former housemates

for the first time since they've been evicted.

Janelle, out of all your former housemates,

who would you say you miss the most?

Michael.

[laughs]

JULIE: It was a--

I thought you might say Howie.

Why Michael?

No, I just saw Howie.

You know, he left three weeks ago-- two weeks ago?

And I haven't seen Michael forever.

So I can't wait to see him.

JULIE: And Janelle, who would you say you miss the least?

Ooh.

Sorry, guys.

Eric.

[laughs]

JULIE: Care to elaborate why?

He just-- him and I just really

didn't get along that well.

We didn't see eye to eye, I guess.

JULIE: Maggie, she's talking about your partner there.

That's OK.

Well, Maggie, who do you miss the most?

Eric.

JULIE: [laughs] Clearly.

Yeah.

JULIE [VOICEOVER]: Because?

'Cause he's an awesome person and a great friend.

He's a true leader.

JULIE: And who do you miss the least?

Oh.

James.

I miss James the least.

JULIE: Because?

'Cause he-- oh, he was mean, very mean all the time.

JULIE: Ivette, how about you?

Who do you miss the most?

Who do you miss the least?

Janelle and I are so opposite.

I miss Cappy more than you can ever imagine.

I miss Eric.

I--

JULIE: You miss Eric more than Beau--

Beau, who you brought in as your partner.

I love Beau.

Beau I just saw not too long ago.

I honestly feel that Eric didn't get enough here,

and I didn't get to know more about him.

So I miss him a lot.

JULIE: And the least?

The least-- I've gotta say the least I miss Ashlea.

She's topper, you know.

- Ah! - She's--

JULIE: All right.

Thank you, Houseguests.

And I'll be back to talk with you a little bit later.

- OK. - Thanks, Julie.

Coming up, Ashlea, Michael, Eric,

Sarah, and Kaysar were the first to leave

the "Big Brother" house.

What have these former Houseguests been

doing since their eviction?

And who do they think has the best chance

of winning the grand prize?

[theme music]

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother ."

They didn't earn a spot on the "Big Brother" jury,

but what have Ashlea, Michael, Eric, Sarah, and Kaysar been

up to since their eviction?

And after going home and watching everything that

has happened, how do they think Maggie, Janelle, and Ivette are

doing in the game?

[music playing]

I am disappointed to be the first person evicted just

because in the beginning, people are still kind

of trying to feel things out.

So I just don't think people got to know me,

and, you know, that's my one regret.

The first episode that I saw--

the second I turned on the television,

it was the "Spider Man kiss," and I'm just like, oh my god!

If this is the relationship that she wants,

then I'll be supportive of her.

But if he breaks her heart, I'll break his face.

[whoosh]

Now check this out.

This is a funny one.

Who's hotter-- Kaysar or Michael?

Life outside the "Big Brother" house has been pretty eventful.

It took some time getting used to, obviously.

According to this poll, I'm hotter than you--

% you and % me.

Ooh, that's just not right.

Let me find--

[laughs]

Let me find something about me to boost my ego.

[whoosh]

Kaysar and I have been talking about how

you get to know somebody.

People say, you know, how could you get so close to somebody

in two weeks?

Janelle and I have known each other a short time,

but in very intense circumstances.

And yes, I'd love to be able to see where it's gonna go.

"I'd say both are extremely cute,

but I think Kaysar's dimples are what did it for me."

That's what attracted me to you actually--

- Why-- - --is your dimples.

I'm very grateful for what's happened so far.

I had an opportunity to appear on "Young and the Restless."

It was a great experience.

I was a editor for a fashion magazine.

You looked very handsome.

Thank you.

[whoosh]

The person America has chosen to move back inside the "Big

Brother" house is Kaysar.

I was very shocked that % of the public voted me back in.

Every time I think about that . million votes,

it sends chills up my spine.

It's amazing.

Initially, I really wanted to just make an impact,

to change how Muslim-Americans are perceived.

It's not about popularity.

It's about the message.

This transcends "Big Brother."

[whoosh]

To be totally honest with you, I wasn't disappointed at all

not to get back into the house.

Since I went back to work, I'm not known

by anything other than Cappy.

Cappy, you got a phone call.

Cappy this, Cappy that.

Cappy-- Cappy-- Cappy--

the Cappy!

I look at Ivette and say that it's

like I'm looking in the mirror.

She's very emotional.

She doesn't hold back, and that's everything I am.

And I think that's why we clicked so well together.

You're going home!

Please calm down.

He's--

I don't really regret anything that I did in the house.

You know, I always give everything %.

And whether you like me or hate me,

I would hope that people would understand

that that's just who I am.

And I'm not going to change any time soon.

[whoosh]

Here, guys.

Chips, if you want some.

I went home to Chicago after I left the house.

I've been spending time with my family.

Who's the first person you want

to talk to at the wrap party?

James.

I think that the show definitely

had a positive impact on James' and mine relationship.

We are so much stronger.

We've learned a whole lot more about each other.

I think that James did really well in the game.

I'm really proud that he made it as far as he did.

I am rooting for Janelle to make it to the final two,

and I would just keep my fingers crossed

that James would make the right decision and vote for Janelle.

If you were to ask me, who are the most two

opposite people in that house, it

has to be Maggie and Janelle.

But Maggie's been able to keep her composure,

even when Janelle's attacked her.

Maggie, you're such a b*tch.

I think Maggie's got a great chance of winning the money.

She's keeping her eyes on the prize,

and that's what's gotten her as far as it has.

Ivette could possibly win the whole thing.

But I think Michael and I both hope that--

Hope Janelle's going to win.

You know it.

She definitely has a good chance.

When we return, round three of the Head of Household

competition will play out live.

Will Ivette or Janelle becomes the final HOH?

And who will she choose to bring with her to the final two?

[theme music]

[theme music]

In just a few minutes, the final round of the HOH competition

will take place live.

Ivette and Janelle will go head to head

to determine the last HOH.

The winner must evict someone immediately,

automatically taking the remaining Houseguest

with her to the final two.

Let's go back to living room and get the final Head of Household

competition underway.

Hello again, Houseguests.

It's time to begin the last part of the HOH competition.

For the final time this season, the power is up for grabs.

Ivette and Janelle, as winners of the first two rounds,

you are the only ones eligible to compete.

Maggie, you did not win round one or round two.

Therefore--

Thank you.

Sorry, but good news is that you can hear what's

going on in this competition.

Ivette, Janelle, let's see how well

you got to know your former housemates this summer.

I will read you the beginning of a statement made

by a member of the "Big Brother" jury while they

were at the jury house.

Then I will give you two choices of possible endings.

It is up to you to decide how you think the juror

completed that statement.

For every correct answer, you get a point.

The Houseguest with the most points

at the end of six statements will become

the final Head of Household.

Do you both understand the rules?

Mm-hmm.

Now, I'm going to ask a question.

The answer is going to be a number.

The person who comes closest to the correct number

without going over will be the new HOH.

If you both go over, the number that's

closest to the right answer will determine the winner.

Do not reveal your answer until I ask for it.

Are you ladies ready?

Mm-hmm.

What is the combined total of all votes

cast to evict this season?

Answers, please.

Janelle, I need an answer.

You could face them towards me.

[laughs] We have a tie.

You both said .

All right.

The answer is , just for the record.

Oh my god.

JULIE: All right we're going--

erase that.

You're so smart, Ivette.

OK, ladies, listen up.

Here's the question.

Brother" house from the night you entered until : PM

Oh my god.

Janelle, you did so great.

You are an awesome competitor, Janelle.

--close. That was awesome.

Janelle, you are the most--

Thanks.

--amazing competitor I have-- JULIE: Ivette--

--honestly ever met.

Thanks, Ivette

Ivette, listen up.

You have a big decision ahead of you.

Now, right now you are guaranteed

at least second place and, at a minimum, the $, prize.

But think carefully about who you would like to evict.

Remember, you are choosing who you

will compete against for the half

million dollar grand prize.

And I'll be back in a few moments for your decision.

Coming up, who will Ivette choose to evict

from the "Big Brother" house--

Maggie or Janelle?

And with a half million dollars at stake,

who will she take with her to the final two?

Tonight's live eviction is straight ahead.

[theme music]

Moments ago, Ivette became the final Head of Household.

Now she will choose to evict Maggie or Janelle,

automatically ensuring the other Houseguest a spot

in the final two and putting them

one step closer to the half million dollar prize.

What will Ivette do?

Let's find out.

Hello again, Houseguests.

Hi, Julie.

Now, before Ivette casts her vote, I just have a reminder.

The evicted Houseguest will have one minute

to say goodbye, gather her belongings,

and walk out the front door.

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

Can I just have a word or no?

A brief word.

You know what's coming.

Aside from being a beautiful woman,

you are an amazing, amazing player

and have given me a total run for my money.

But I have to evict you, Janelle--

It's fine.

--because I have a promise to keep.

I know. I know.

It's fine.

But you-- I want you to know I think you're amazing.

Thank you, Ivette.

Truly I do.

Goodbye.

JULIE: It's official, Janelle.

I have to say it.

I say it every week.

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

- That was really tough. - I truly do.

Janelle, you did awesome.

Thanks, you guys.

Send all my love to everybody.

I will.

I can't wait to see them all.

Janelle--

- I'm leaving! - Freedom!

[laughter]

Freedom!

If there's a "Big Brother All Stars,"

I'm totally voting you in--

Thank you.

--because you'll take it by storm.

I hope you're competing with me then 'cause you

were good to compete with. - You'll take it by storm.

You'll take it by storm.

Thank you.

- It was your and my game. - I know.

- It was never anybody else's. - You're awesome.

Thanks.

Bye, Maggie.

Bye.

Bye, Ivette.

Bye.

Scream something for us.

Bye, Janelle.

Take care. - I'm alive!

Woo!

[laughs]

[music playing]

JULIE: You can put your bag down, Janelle.

Oh, thank you, Julie.

JULIE: Come on in.

Nice to meet you, hello.

Nice to meet you. Hello.

Please, have a seat, make yourself comfortable.

Thanks.

[laughs] Mommy, I just won you $,!

hundred for Ivetta!

Mom, I just won you--

you believed in me, Maggie.

Maggie, you so believed in me.

You so believed in me.

Janelle, you were the last member of your alliance.

Yes.

You seemed to be the target--

Yeah, I was.

--of the other alliance.

Uh-huh.

How surprised are you to be sitting here tonight?

Well, I'm not surprised.

I knew that if Ivette won, she would probably

evict me because she had made promises to her friends

in the house.

And I knew that she would evict me.

So I'm not surprised.

Are you surprised you made it this far in the game?

- I am. - I mean, you were their target?

Yeah, I'm really surprised.

I thought I would be evicted, like, right after Michael,

because they had spoken that they wanted

me out of the house pretty bad.

So yeah, I didn't think I would make it this far.

I'm absolutely surprised and thrilled.

What do you make of the fact that Ivette chose Maggie

to make it to the final two with her,

essentially as her competition, instead of you?

It is a poor decision, I believe.

JULIE: Why?

Because she can't beat Maggie.

I think Maggie will win the money.

And--

JULIE: Do you think Ivette realizes that?

I think she does, but she's just

the type of person that doesn't want to break a promise.

So props to her, I guess, but she's not gonna--

Because she made it no secret that she

really needs this money.

Her family needs the money.

So are you saying that she chose friendship over money?

Money.

Yeah, she did.

JULIE: What does that say about her character to you?

She's a good person.

For a while, we thought you guys were arch enemies.

Yep. No, we were.

We hated each other.

Oh, I just couldn't stand even the sight of her.

But I got to know her better, and she's a bit loud

and, you know, harsh.

But she's a good person.

If you could do anything over in this game, would you?

And what would that one thing be?

Oh, I'd do so many things over.

I mean, just looking back, I wouldn't have maybe, you know,

told people that I didn't like them.

Or-- JULIE: [laughs]

You know?

JULIE: Well, Janelle, in the event

that you were the one evicted tonight,

the ladies taped some goodbye messages.

- Oh. - Let's listen.

All right. [music playing]

So much of the time in this house,

I listened to people tell me that you hated me.

Instead of addressing it with you, I just believed them.

I want you to know that I have changed

my mind on a lot of things that I thought

were what kept us apart.

And I-- I was wrong.

Janelle--

Oh, OK.

--boy, did we give each other a run for our money.

I respect you so much as a player.

We were both very determined in this game.

And it was some good competition, and it was fun.

You did amazing.

And for that, you should be proud.

Take care.

That was nice.

JULIE: Final thoughts?

I'm just-- you know, I'm happy that Ivette won.

I do.

I mean, I tried.

It was such a hard game, the last one.

JULIE: You're the last one on the jury.

Without telling me who you want to vote for,

what are you going to base your decision on?

Well, I want to change my decision

after tonight, because I do think

that Ivette is a good person.

But I don't know.

I mean, I just--

I don't know.

Well, thank you.

Thanks, Julie.

You played a really good game.

Thank you.

Awesome game.

All right, good luck.

And if you have a question for Janelle,

you can talk with her Monday at : PM Eastern, : AM

Pacific on "House Calls," the "Big Brother" talk show,

at cbs.com.

Ivette and Maggie are vying for the half million dollar prize.

We will talk with the final two when we return.

days ago, Houseguests walked

into the "Big Brother" house.

Tonight, only two Houseguests remain.

Let's go back to the living room and congratulate the final two.

Ivette and Maggie, congratulations

for making it to the final two.

Thank you!

Thank you, Julie!

How does it feel?

Ivette?

Julie, I just won my family $,, so I'm--

I am so thrilled.

She's going for the .

I'm so thrilled.

I know I have just done miracles in my family,

and that's all I wanted.

That's all I wanted.

JULIE: Maggie?

I am ecstatic to be here right now.

I thank Ivette.

I thank all the players before me.

This is an awesome feeling, and we never--

JULIE: Congratulations again to both of you--

Thank you.

Thank you.

finale of "Big Brother."

The entire house will reunite, and the jury of seven

will vote for the winner live.

Who will walk out the front door a half million dollars richer?

For now, we leave you as we eavesdrop on the final two.

From outside the "Big Brother" house, I'm Julie Chen.

Good night.

Oh, the game.

This game.

The hair.

Oh.

Oh, yeah!

That's right.

I forgot about that.

I'm sorry, but I have to wear it on Tuesday.

I know, right?

[sighs]

I don't know what to do with myself.

Do you?

What do we do?

- You believed in me. - Uh-huh.

You never stopped believing in me.

Not once.

Not once.

You never stopped believing in me.
