[music playing]
NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother "--
at the Head of Household competition,
the power alliance of d*ck, Daniele, Eric, and Jessica
stayed in control.
JULIE: Congratulations, Jessica, you are HOH.
NARRATOR: Strategically, everything
was falling into place for d*ck and Daniele.
Jessica, who is in my alliance, has HOH.
I know I'm not going home this week,
and I know Daniele's not going home this week.
[whoosh]
NARRATOR: But their personal relationship
took a step backwards.
--never abandoned you.
I was there for you.
I don't think that you've always been there for me.
You're the one that has always left.
There's reasons!
[whoosh]
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Eric and Jessica's
romance finally moved forward.
[laughs]
About time.
[whoosh]
NARRATOR: At the nomination ceremony,
Jessica stayed true to her alliance with d*ck and Daniele.
Zach, Amber, there are other people
in the house that have just been there the entire time.
So I nominated you.
I love you, God, and just help me be strong.
[whoosh]
NARRATOR: At the Veto competition,
Amber and Zach fought for survival.
But in the end, they came up short.
Congratulations, Eric.
You have won the Power of Veto.
Woo!
NARRATOR: Fearing that one of them might get backdoored,
Daniele and d*ck began to question the alliance.
You know Amber is going try to cop a deal with Eric
and try to get him to take her off, right?
I was thinking Eric and Jess with a side deal with Jameka.
Her and Jessica are very close.
We have to get Jessica out.
I know.
[whoosh]
NARRATOR: With all the power in their hands,
Jessica and Eric debated what to do.
I mean, is it really of benefit to keep both of them?
This might be, like, the biggest mistake, like, ever.
For better or worse, we did make an agreement with them.
There's definitely a possibility
that Eric has a secret agenda, and I wouldn't put it past him.
[whoosh]
NARRATOR: But Eric did have his own agenda.
I am choosing to not use the Power of Veto this week.
America, I know you guys wanted Amber nominated
for the second straight week, and now you have the choice
to send her home if you like.
NARRATOR: Who will be evicted from the "Big Brother" house--
Amber or Zach?
And which nominee do you want Eric to target for eviction?
Find out tonight-- live on "Big Brother ."
[theme music]
Good evening, I'm Julie Chen.
Welcome to "Big Brother."
It's day in the house, and it's been a week
of personal highs and lows.
While Eric and Jessica have taken their romance
to another level, d*ck and Daniele
have reopened old wounds and begun fighting again.
But no matter what the issue is between them,
the four have so far stayed true to each other in the game.
But there's a secret fifth member of this alliance,
and that's you, America.
With Eric as America's Player, Amber
went up on the chopping block, as you requested.
Then, when he won the Power of Veto,
Eric chose to keep the nominations the same,
believing it was the best way to ensure Amber's eviction.
Eric did all this despite the fact
that his girlfriend in the house, Jessica,
wanted to get d*ck or Daniele nominated.
Minutes from now, the HouseGuests vote live,
and either Zach, the graphic designer from Burbank,
California, or Amber, the c*ck waitress from Las
Vegas, will be evicted.
But first, what's love and what's strategy
isn't always clear.
[music playing]
I am choosing to not use the Power of Veto this week.
This meeting is adjourned.
It's just not fair.
Eric's looking out for Eric, obviously.
Based on the decision he made today,
it just shows that he's here for only himself,
and he doesn't care about anyone else in this game.
- That was a good speech. - Yeah, it was.
Yeah, it was a hell of a speech.
Wow.
[laughs]
I'd like to think that I've established relationships
with everybody in this house versus Amber,
who has been seen as a floater, someone
who truly can't compete.
And I'm not going down without a fight.
[music playing]
[sighs]
Are you upset because--
I just feel bad because I put up two people that didn't have
a problem with me at all, and there's no reason for me
to put those two people up.
And now one of them is leaving.
Whereas, if I had put up d*ck and Daniele, then--
even though we have an agreement with them,
they don't necessarily, like, like me.
They don't care how I do in this game.
And I feel like I just made the biggest mistake.
Do you really think that Amber really likes you?
No.
Amber does not really like you.
And you do not really like her.
No, I don't.
[doorbell]
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
[laughs] Hello.
Well, I just want to talk to you guys for a few minutes
while you're both up here, if that's all right.
- All right-- - Come on in.
--I'll go back to my chair.
The water's fine.
Well, obviously, like, I just want to tell you
guys I really want to be here.
Nobody-- sorry, guys.
It's OK.
Trying not to cry.
No, don't worry about it.
I've worked really hard for this,
and I have a lot at stake, which we all do.
And I just hope that when it comes time to vote,
you guys do the right thing.
And I just want you guys to know there's
no hard feelings or anything, and I really mean that.
Yeah.
We're all--
If I can't win it being a good person,
I want people who are deserving of it to win it.
Like, honestly, if you don't make it to the final two,
don't you guys want good people to win this?
You know, don't you want to be able to give your vote to
someone that you're happy with?
Amber has one argument and one argument only--
the good people need to win the game.
You know, I don't know what to say to her.
I've had enough of her crying and enough
of her weak game play.
Amber should be leaving the house on Thursday.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate you guys listening.
Thank you.
We'll be down in just a few.
OK.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
I want to keep her.
I don't want to keep Zach.
You'll say that, but then Zach will
come up and give you a routine.
And then you'll say that--
I don't want him here any more.
But I know she's going to be the one to go.
I can just tell.
I haven't decided.
[music playing]
You're going to stay.
I don't think so.
No.
Trust me.
I think I have Eric.
Honestly, I'd rather take you or Daniele
to the final two for the fact that, like,
at least I'd get grand.
If I can't win, at least I get--
Everybody wants to win.
Listen, dude-- - No, no no.
--Amber had her chance at a hundred grand.
No, no, no.
Listen to me.
She turned down grand on the [muted] "Power of ."
I know that.
As far as I'm concerned--
I would never [muted] do that.
--she can go [muted] herself.
All I'm telling you is--
Plus, getting rid of Amber breaks up Amber and Jameka.
All I need is about $,, maybe ,
if I'm lucky, to do what I need to do.
Just, like, second place is, like, completely OK with me.
If I have the chance to win HOH, I'm going to put Jess,
and I'm going to put Jameka up.
And I'm going to backdoor Eric, if I can do it.
The only way that you're going to go is if I
find out that you [muted] flipped
on me and, like, offered me up.
[whoosh]
If I'm not on the block, my vote is solid.
I'll take one of them out, not a problem.
[whoosh]
- That's the only way. - I haven't done it.
So you're going to stay.
Well, I voted to keep you in twice.
We'll do it.
All right.
[music playing]
Hey, you.
Hola, girls.
Oh my god.
Since you put me and Zach on the block,
I've been thinking about it.
And I just-- it's, like, this whole week was--
it was basically like Eric was HOH with the POV,
with the nominees, you know.
And, like, everybody that he wanted out is out.
He thinks he can kind of persuade you.
And with him not using the Veto, it still
kept you safe, because you didn't put them
up as a replacement nominee.
But I think he's got something going on with them,
because he won't win HOH, Jess.
He won't.
He's scared to get HOH because his girlfriend--
he knows there's going to be pictures, and they're going
to be like, who's this girl? - That's what he told me.
He's like, there will be pictures.
I was like, well, I thought you guys weren't together.
He's like, we're not, but I'm sure there will be pictures.
- Which doesn't make sense. - But why would there be?
No, there wouldn't be.
Yeah, why would there be?
I really think Eric's playing this game through you, and--
I do too.
And now I'm really starting to see that.
It's either going to be a two to two or three to one,
and I'm going to go home.
Well, two to two, you know I'm going to keep you, so.
[sighs]
I manipulated my boyfriend, Jessica,
for three and a half years.
I know how to read one, and that is what Eric's doing with you.
And I've seen the little looks he gives you,
like the flirty looks, and I think
he does have feelings for you.
But at the same time, this is part of Eric's game.
Ugh.
I hate this game!
Ugh.
Eric is playing this game for himself, and that's it.
I mean, do you see things in a different perspective now?
Yeah.
Because I didn't know all that stuff Amber was saying.
That's-- wow.
I mean, everything that Amber said,
I have questioned in my mind, like, even more.
Right.
Like, don't overlook it just because you
want to overlook it.
Right, just because, right.
Amber started to put in my head that, you know,
she should really stay this week and bashed on Eric
the entire conversation and said how bad he was.
And I've pretty much been aligned with him
the entire time, and so I was like,
I'm kind of really confused.
- Please don't say anything. - I won't.
No, she won't.
No.
Are you guys going to join us?
I was actually talking about my boyfriend.
You can talk to him at the table.
I know.
[WHISPERING] I gotta get Daniele's vote.
You have to get her to promise you her vote to you.
[sighs]
[music playing]
Can you keep me around, Daniele?
You know I have your back.
Seriously, they know--
I know.
I have your best interests at heart, you know what I mean?
You [muted] saved me last week and took me off the block.
Like, that means so much to me.
I don't have anyone in this house that I'm close to.
Obviously, Jameka.
But other than that, like, there's no one else
in this house other than you, and I swear that
on my little girl's life, that I would
seriously take off the block.
[whoosh]
If you take me off, Daniele, whenever my HOH time comes,
I will not put you on the block.
Whoever you put up this week, I'll vote
however you want me to vote.
And I won't backdoor you either, and I promise.
I swear on my daughter.
[whoosh]
I think I would be in my best interest
if Amber were to stay because if she got HOH,
I wouldn't be nominated.
[whoosh]
[music playing]
Which one of the two nominees do
you want Eric to get evicted from the "Big Brother" house?
Amber.
As expected, Amber is causing trouble, yet masquerading
as one of the "good" people.
She is self-righteous, and she needs to get off her high horse
and stop telling everyone that she's better than everyone
else.
And Amber, you're going home.
[whoosh]
Let me ask you something.
So assuming that you weren't actually talking about Amber's
boyfriend, what were you actually talking about
and why was she lying?
We were talking about her boyfriend.
Why are you lying?
I'm not.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not!
Why are you hiding, then?
What were you talking about?
What?
What were we talking about earlier?
No, you, Amber, and Jameka-- what were you talking about?
So I'm telling you what we discussed.
Amber wants to stay.
She's a good person.
And she asked me, like, times if I had a deal,
and I said, no, no, no.
And she asked me if you did.
I said, no, no, no.
I don't think he does.
Blah blah blah.
Why do you want her to stay all of a sudden?
Because I like her.
What was she saying about me?
She said you came to her, saying,
like, that you don't want to win HOH because you
know that the pictures of--
I don't remember if she said girlfriend
or not back home, but--
Pfft.
--it was like, I can just see, like,
your family at home being, like, oh my gosh,
you know, she's getting played by this guy.
And she's like, I can just see, like, your mom
wanting me to, like, tell you.
I don't have a girlfriend.
I've had these conversations with you.
I know. I know.
I'm just telling you. - You're not--
I feel--
I'm really put off by her putting
her nose into our business.
I really don't like that, and I don't like her trying
to play us against each other. - What do you mean?
And I don't like her trying to play d*ck
or Daniele against each other. I think she's sneaky.
What do you mean into our business?
I'm going to get into this, but let's keep in mind she was
also a drug user when she had a five-year-old child and, like,
addicted to serious drugs.
So the fact that she sits here and talks
about what a good person she is, I'll tell you I've
never done any of those things.
You've never done any of those things.
Let's not get carried away.
You want Amber to go.
She's going to go home.
I knew that.
I knew already.
Just because this week she's kissing your a*s
and trying to make you feel good does not
mean that she has your back.
Do you understand that she's trying
to make you have problems with the only person
who truly has your back and cares
about you in this entire house?
Yeah.
And this is the reason why you like her?
I'm just telling you.
[music playing]
Well, I told Eric tonight.
Did you tell her?
What?
About Zach.
Oh, no.
If he gets HOH, Zach's plan is to put Jessica
and Jameka up with backdooring Eric, because you're
the biggest threat.
Well, good plan.
That's good, because his plan, as he related to us,
was to put both of you up because the two of you,
as controlling a third of the house, are just way too strong.
And you're overwhelming, and powerful, and evil,
and you can't be beaten.
Yeah, I'm going to tell him, I [muted] told you--
I told you if you threw me or Daniele under the bus
this week-- and I've heard from both Eric and Jessica
that you did exactly that.
I'm like, I'm [muted] done with this.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Coming up-- Jameka's family and pastor
talk about her and some news that
she has yet to learn about.
Also ahead-- Eric and Jessica are getting closer every day.
Are Eric's feelings for Jessica real?
Or is America's Player really America's "Play-ah"?
We talk to the people who know him
best, including the other woman in his life, to find out more.
Stay with us.
[music playing]
[theme music]
Welcome back to "Big Brother."
It's time to go live to the living room
and check in with the HouseGuests.
Hi, everybody. - Oh.
Hey, Julie.
We can't hear you.
Well, this week you all got--
We can't hear you.
You can't hear me?
Can't hear ya.
Hold on.
- Holding. - OK.
- There we go. - How about now?
- Hey, Julie. - All right.
Greetings, HouseGuests. - Hello.
Hey, Julie.
Well, this week you all got naked for the chance
to win a shopping spree.
Oh, boy.
Jessica, in the beginning, you were nervous, but by the end,
you were calling it your best day in the "Big Brother" house.
- I know. - Why?
I was really nervous because I'm a pretty conservative
girl when I'm back at home.
But after I took my clothes off, I was
like, oh, it's a whole new me.
[laughter]
It was a lot of fun.
[laughs]
JULIE: Glad you had a good time.
Daniele, when you learned that Nick--
I knew it.
--was waiting in the wings to help you play the "Power
of ," you got very emotional.
[laughs]
If you had gotten to see him, what
would you have said to him?
, , .
You know, it's really hard being in this house.
Knowing that somebody was there to see me,
I honestly thought I wasn't going to find out who it was.
And I think I would have preferred not knowing who
it was until I was out of here.
It's just a hard situation, you know.
I really do wish that Nick was still in the house,
and there's-- honestly, there's a lot that I would
like to say for him, but I could sum
it up in those three numbers.
JULIE: Can you decode them for us?
No. He knows what it is.
[laughs] JULIE: Hmm.
OK.
Amber--
Yeah.
You could have walked away with $, on the "Power
of ," but instead, you tried your hand at a hundred grand
and ended up with only one grand.
Any regrets?
I regretted it a little bit at first
because I felt like it was a selfish move,
but I felt like I got put in that position for a reason.
And I had to go for it for my family.
And, you know, I definitely don't regret it at all.
It was an experience of a lifetime,
and I learned a lot from it.
Thanks, Amber.
d*ck?
Yes, Julie.
Robin from Middletown, Delaware,
has a viewer question for you.
OK.
But pictures speak louder than words.
Uh-oh.
[MUSIC PLAYING AND SPITTING SOUNDS]
[laughing]
Well, I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
[spits]
Well, Robin asks, why do you spit so much?
I have no idea, Julie.
It's just-- I don't know, like walking and talking, really.
[laughs]
[laughs] Thank you, everyone.
Inside the house, some have criticized
Jameka for her faith.
Now her church and family speak out.
I love my church--
love it.
Our preacher is so down to earth.
People just lose themselves.
It's so good.
[whoosh]
Hey, I want to give a shout-out
to one of our members.
Her name is Jameka Cameron, and she's on a show
called "Big Brother ."
[cheering and applause]
We love you, Jameka, and we're praying for you.
Jameka is a great young lady.
I think she loves the Lord, and I
believe God has ordained for Jameka to be on this show,
you know.
Jameka is a great example of a Christian person.
It's already predetermined who's gonna win this.
That's where I feel.
I don't feel like it's anything--
Then why play?
Her strong belief and her faith
could be perceived as her weakness,
and people attack that, just like d*ck did.
I love the fact I call you a hypocrite,
and I think your Christianity is a joke.
I've been praying for you since day one.
I have too.
I've been praying to my dog for you.
Good, good.
It does about the same.
Good.
But she is the type of person that will let you know when
you've crossed a line with her, and she-- and, you know,
then the fiery side comes out.
[whoosh] - I say nothing about you--
My opinion doesn't mean anything.
No, no, no, because you've got me started now.
My opinion doesn't mean anything.
No, no, no, because I say nothing about you
not believing in Christ.
My opinion doesn't mean anything.
I say nothing about you not believing in God.
When I saw Jameka letting it rip on d*ck,
I was like, go, sis!
So what?
So what?
What does that have to do with you?
Nothing! You better believe it.
- You're a hypocrite. - God will redeem me.
You're a hypocrite.
I feel sorry for d*ck, that maybe
he's just angry because he's missing something in his life.
I love you, God. I love you, God.
I love you, God. I love you, God.
I love--
Everybody doesn't have the benefit
of having a strong faith.
God, please be with ED, God.
And somehow let him be at peace, God,
and bless him and his family.
Jameka praying for other people is her spirit speaking.
It's her genuine compassion.
I know that she knows every time she prays
that she's connecting with God.
And let her have a fun baby shower.
I think if Jameka knew we just had a little girl--
her third niece--
I think she would be really excited
because family is just as important to her
as her faith is.
You are my everything, God.
In Jesus' name, I do pray.
Amen.
When we return, Eric's family and the other woman in his life
share their thoughts on his romance with Jessica.
And the HouseGuests vote live, and either Zach
or Amber will be evicted.
Stay with us.
[music playing]
[music playing]
Welcome back to "Big Brother."
When it was revealed that Eric would be America's Player,
his family was afraid that it would destroy his game.
But could a showmance do the same?
His brothers and the girl he left behind
tell us what they think.
[music playing]
My whole family are huge reality TV
and television fans as a whole.
Probably every single time that I'm still here another week,
they think to themselves, holy [muted]..
Like, this little a*s might actually be onto something.
Yeah.
That's their way of being loving.
I'm Josh.
I'm Eric's older brother.
I've been watching "Big Brother" the entire summer on CBS,
on Showtime, on the internet.
I've been talking about it with fans on message boards.
It really has been my life this summer.
I am telling you, for two months,
they have not done anything but watch me.
Woo!
I think that Eric is currently in the best
position he's been all summer.
Aligning with d*ck allowed the American people
to really align with Eric.
You, Jessica, me, Daniele can whip
everyone's a*s in this place.
I'm optimistic that by aligning with d*ck and Daniele,
Eric and Jessica have a foursome that
can get themselves to the end.
Not to be obnoxious, but it's, like,
the four bad-asses stood up and said,
if you want to win this game, you have to come through us.
And no one's been able to do anything about it so far.
I'm very much in favor of Eric and Jessica's relationship,
both from strategic purposes and friendship and companionship
separately.
I am going to do everything, and I mean everything,
in my power for us to be the last two here.
It was never Eric's intention going into this game
to have a romantic fling.
[laughs]
About time.
The fact that it happened anyway
indicates that he had true interest.
You're a good kisser.
I am?
Uh-huh.
Cheryl was his ex-girlfriend who was on again,
off again for over four years.
But about three weeks before he entered the "Big Brother"
house, he did consider getting back together with her,
and she was not interested.
[whoosh]
My name is Cheryl, and I have been going out with Eric
for four and a half years.
I miss him.
I miss him, but watching him on TV, I get excited for him.
I basically prep myself up before each episode.
I'm, like, his little cheerleader.
My mom said to me before coming here--
she was like, you know, you should really be done or be on.
I said, I've been saying that for over a year now.
Eric may have lied about America's Player tasks,
but if there is one thing Eric has been % honest about,
it's that he is not dating anyone.
Cheryl is not his girlfriend at the time he entered this house.
I thought you might need some bubbles for your bathtub.
Uh, no.
Its premium bubbles--
[laughs]
--are the finest bubbles in all of California.
And--
Really?
Jessica and Eric in the house right now-- they're completely
forming a bond.
The thing is it's like you can't help but be a little jealous.
You can't.
That's just human nature.
Oh, and now I'm going to cry.
[laughs]
I didn't make the decision lightly.
It's not like, oh, this girl is cute,
and I'm going to kiss her.
It's like, whoa, this is kind of, like,
a big deal and something that I have
not done in a really long time.
Until he comes off the show and tells me,
listen, all of that with Jessica meant something else,
I am % on his side, and I can't wait to see him.
So I know the real Eric Stein.
Mm-hmm. And you love him.
And I love him.
Now let's go live to the HOH room
and join Jessica, the current Head of Household.
Hello, Jessica.
Hi, Julie.
As Jen left last week, she told
Amber to warn you about Eric and a relationship
he might have outside the house.
What did you think of that news?
Well, coming from the source of Jen,
I didn't know if I could trust Jen in the game.
And I felt it was kind of a last second effort
to maybe stir up some stuff in the house.
So I listened to what Amber had to say,
and then I also spoke with Eric.
And, you know, I've trusted Eric the whole time
throughout the game, and so I went
ahead and trusted him again and didn't believe what Jen said.
When the two of you shared your first kiss the other day,
your first reaction was, "about time!"
[laughs]
JULIE: Why do you think it took him so long?
Just the pressure of knowing you're on TV and people
are always watching.
And we're supposed to be here for a game,
but we still like each other.
And so it was just, you know, crazy.
Well, you and Eric have an alliance with d*ck and Daniele.
Yes.
If it does come down to d*ck and Daniele and Eric
and you in the final four, who do you think
will be the first one out?
Well, I think a lot of people think that I'll
be the first one out, but I think a lot of people
are underestimating how competitive of a person I am.
And so I'm going to try my best to make it to the end
and make sure it's someone else and not me.
Thank you, Jessica, and you go back downstairs.
Thanks, Julie.
Sure.
We are moments away from the live vote and eviction.
Who will be leaving the "Big Brother" house?
Will it be Zach, the graphic designer
from Burbank, California, or Amber,
the c*ck waitress from Las Vegas?
Let's return to the living room and talk with the nominees.
Hello, HouseGuests.
Hello, Julie.
Zach, Amber, in just a few moments, your housemates
will cast their votes to evict live.
You now have one last chance to plead your case.
Zach, you're up.
All right.
Well, from mad hatters, to guitar smashers,
to bunny suits, I've enjoyed many memories with all of you
as you sit here in this place we call Wonderland.
I definitely would love to be a part of this house still
and continue my journey down the rabbit hole.
JULIE: Thank you, Zach.
Amber, what would you like to say?
All right, we're going to try not cry.
I just want to tell you guys that when I got picked
to be a HouseGuest and come into this house,
I had no idea it was going to be as hard as it is.
I also didn't know that I was going
to build such unique, rare relationships with each
and every one of you guys.
I would love to stay here, but then again,
if it's in God's plan for me to go, then I go today.
And I just want you to all know I
hold nothing against you guys.
I think you guys are all very special people,
and I hold a special place in my heart for each
and every one of you guys.
Thank you both.
It's now time for the live voting to begin.
The two nominees and Head of Household cannot vote.
However, in the event of a tie, Jessica , as the current HOH,
you will break it.
One at a time, the rest of you will enter the Diary Room
and cast your vote.
Jameka, you're up first.
[music playing]
Jameka is best friends with Amber in the house.
It would be a shock if she voted her out.
Hello, Jameka.
Hey, Julie.
Please cast your vote to evict now.
I vote to evict Zach.
JULIE: Thank you, Jameka.
Thank you.
Eric is playing for you, America, and % of you
wanted him to evict Amber.
Hello, Eric.
Hey, Julie.
Well, we already know that America's
vote is to evict Amber.
So let's talk about you.
So far, you have successfully completed
out of America's Player tasks,
and at $, for every five tasks,
you have earned $, to date.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
JULIE: You can head back to the living room now.
Great, thank you.
d*ck had vowed to Zach to get Amber
out of the house, provided that Zach didn't turn on him.
Will Eric's revelation to d*ck change his vote?
Hello, d*ck. - Hi, Julie.
Please cast your vote.
I vote to evict Amber.
JULIE: Thank you, d*ck.
Thank you.
Daniele has been wavering in her decision,
having been promised safety from Amber.
Will she vote the same way as her dad?
Hello, Daniele.
Hey, Julie.
Please cast your vote to evict now.
I vote to evict Amber.
JULIE: Thank you, Daniele.
Thanks.
The results are in.
We'll give Amber the bad news when we return.
[theme music]
Welcome back to "Big Brother."
The live votes are in, and it's now time to reveal
the results to the HouseGuests.
HouseGuests, just a reminder-- when
I reveal the vote, the evicted HouseGuest
will have just a few moments to say
goodbye, gather their belongings,
and walk out the front door.
By a vote of three to one, Amber,
you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.
[whispering]
[whispering]
I'm sorry.
That's OK, guys.
It's a game.
I love you.
Thank you.
It's a game, you know.
It's OK.
I love you, OK?
[crying]
You guys, I made steaks on the bottom shelf.
Anyone can have it, OK?
[laughter]
Seriously.
Good luck to all of you, guys, OK?
Bye, Amber.
Bye, Amber.
Bye.
I love you all you guys.
Good luck.
And that sucked.
[music playing]
JULIE: Hi, Amber.
You can put your bag down. - OK, cool.
JULIE: Come on over.
No problem.
- Welcome. - Hi.
- Hi. - How are you?
- I'm very well. - You're beautiful.
Thank you. Have a seat, please.
Thanks.
Thanks.
[indistinct chatter]
I know.
I feel bad that she didn't got in on it.
I'm sorry, Jameka.
Thanks.
Are you OK?
We're all here for you, OK?
It's OK.
Thank you, guys.
It's OK, babe.
Basically, there's a new person about to move in in your place,
OK?
It's really hard the first week, but it gets easier.
I'm really sorry.
Are you OK? - Mm-hmm.
I'm here for you.
Everybody is.
Like, I promise.
Why do you think you were evicted tonight?
I think I was evicted because, honestly,
nobody wants to be sitting next to me in the final two.
I have really good relationships with everyone.
You know, I think they were nervous that had I stayed,
the numbers would have stayed on me,
and Jameka's side, and Jessica, and they
just felt me as a threat.
And I understand it's a game.
It sucks.
But it is what it is.
Who do you blame most for your eviction?
Eric.
Honestly, I think Eric had a lot to do with it.
You know, he's been playing both sides,
and acting like he's with d*ck and Daniele,
and then acting like he's with Jessica, me, and Jameka.
And so, you know, he did what he had to do,
and it was in everyone's best interest, so.
You've said that quote, unquote,
"the good people should stay in the house
and make it to the final four."
Right.
How do you determine who's good and who's bad?
You know, based on how people play the game--
if they're honest, if they lie, if they go around, you know,
making deals, you know, telling people
things that aren't the truth, just stuff like that, you know.
Calling people out, you know, being rude, just nasty,
negative energy that they send off in the house, just--
you can tell a good person from a bad person in that aspect.
You've also said that what happens in the "Big Brother"
house is in God's hands.
Yep.
Do you believe that He didn't want you to win?
Honestly, I don't believe that He didn't want me to win.
I made a lot of mistakes in this game by evicting Nick,
you know, trusting certain people,
and I feel like, you know, I was on TV.
I was shown unto the world.
I feel like there's something in this for me,
whether it's me to be an inspirational speaker
or go to nursing school, something
will come about of this.
Well, in the event that you were voted out tonight,
your housemates taped some goodbye messages.
- OK. - Let's listen.
OK. [music playing]
You know from day one I've told you how I feel about you.
I think you're a really nice person,
and I really appreciate all the long talks that we've had.
It really has meant a lot.
And unfortunately, somebody had to go,
and I wish it didn't have to have to be you.
If this is truly God's reason, then
you obviously have something better to look forward to.
I hope everything works out for you, and I wish you well.
I think you have a great heart.
You're a kind person, and you were
a valuable ally in this game.
I'm really, honestly, from the bottom of my heart,
very, very sorry.
I'm glad that you and I got the opportunity to get closer.
I truly believe that you were a good person in the house,
and that you are a good person.
And I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you.
I am sorry to see you go, and I
hope that you understand and realize that it's just a game.
Look forward to seeing you again.
No more tears.
Bye.
Right.
Hey, Amber.
I don't know how this happened.
Words can't express to you how much our conversations, how
much I enjoyed our interaction, how much you mean to me,
and how much I'm looking forward to hanging
out outside of the house.
And I'll do everything I can to make sure that I get
as far as I can in the game.
I love you.
Sorry.
Amber, thank you.
Thank you, Julie, so much. Thank you.
You're welcome.
You're off to the jury house, but we'll
see you back here on the th when you help determine
who wins "Big Brother."
Exactly.
It's now time for the Head of Household competition.
HouseGuests, I would like everyone
to go out to the backyard for the HOH competition.
Oh, my knees.
JULIE: Head of Household-- it is the most important position
in the "Big Brother" house.
Safe from the threat of eviction,
the HOH must put two of their housemates
on the chopping block.
Jessica, the current HOH, is not eligible to compete
and neither is Jameka, who gave up her chance
to compete for five weeks.
This is week number four.
HouseGuests, you're invited to a tea party.
Please select a giant teapot and stand
next to it, if you haven't yet.
I see you all have.
What the hell.
JULIE: Who has what it takes to be the new HOH?
The Head of Household competition is next.
Stay with us.
I'm scared.
[music playing]
Good luck.
[theme music]
Welcome back to "Big Brother."
Now let's go to the backyard for tonight's HOH competition.
HouseGuests, the power is up for grabs.
Tonight's competition is called the "Big Brother Tea Party."
Each of you is standing next to a teapot
filled with gallons of tea.
You must transfer the tea from your teapot
to your tank at the end of your walkway as fast as you can.
As the level in the tank rises, so will
the silver ball that is in it.
Your goal is to pour enough tea into your tank
so the silver ball rises high enough for you to get it out.
The first HouseGuest to carry their silver ball
to the finish line will be the new Head of Household.
Does everyone understand?
- Yes, Julie. - Yeah.
JULIE: Now, the container that you
will be using to transfer your tea is under the silver dome.
Go ahead and remove the dome.
Ha ha.
Oh.
sh**t.
JULIE: Pick up your cups.
Oh, dear.
JULIE: Everyone have a cup?
Yeah.
Oh my god.
JULIE: The competition starts now.
[music playing]
If you think it'll take a long time
to fill up those large glass tanks, you're right.
The cups hold only three ounces of tea,
and it takes gallons to fill up those tanks.
That's about trips back and forth, or seven miles.
Even if they run, it could take all night to fill those tanks.
[muted]
And we'll have some more surprises--
the first one when we return.
[theme music]
Welcome back to "Big Brother."
The HOH competition is underway, and the HouseGuests are racing
to fill their tanks with tea.
What they don't know is that we're
about to make things a lot more slippery with a concoction
of corn oil and baby oil.
Let's get this going.
Hello, HouseGuests.
How are you enjoying your tea party so far?
Woo.
Well, it sucks.
Hey, Julie.
JULIE: Yeah?
Is it-- whoa.
Eric, that was a close one there.
h*, h*, Julie.
You got me.
JULIE: Incredible balance so far by most of you, I have to say.
d*ck, how are you holding up there?
Pretty good.
JULIE: Anyone ever ice skate before?
Nope.
On my butt.
JULIE: Well, that tea looks pretty bland.
Here's something to sweeten it up.
[muted]
--sugar.
Oh, great.
Here we go.
Oh, no.
Yeah!
Butter in my tea?
Oh, my knee.
Hope that tastes better.
It tastes like crap, Julie.
Have a good night, HouseGuests.
Thanks, Julie.
The HouseGuests are in for a long night.
To see how this competition plays out,
go to cbs.com for the live -hour internet feed.
To see the rest of this competition
and the crowning of the new HOH, tune
in Sunday at :/: Central.
Then Tuesday at :/: Central,
a very special Power of Veto competition
will be hosted by "Big Brother" All-Star Janelle.
Next Thursday at :, we will have
a shocker for the HouseGuests.
They won't know it, but by the end of the hour, two of them
will be evicted.
It's a double live eviction.
And don't forget-- "Big Brother After Dark"
airs live each night from midnight to : AM
on Showtime .
So for now, let's go back out and eavesdrop
on the HouseGuests.
From outside the "Big Brother" house, I'm Julie Chen.
Good night.
--all the spouts.
You could potentially break those off.
So just be careful with that.
OK.
Woo-hoo!
[theme music]
This is awfully slippery.
Thanks.
