08x28 - Episode 28

[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Previously on "Big Brother "--

the alliance of d*ck, Daniele, Eric, and Jessica

dominated the game for two straight weeks.

[villainous laughing]

NARRATOR: But both sides began to doubt each other.

Is it really of benefit to keep both of them?

We have to get Jessica out.

This might be, like, the biggest mistake, like, ever.

NARRATOR: At Head of Household competition,

the alliance finally lost power.

Congratulations, Zach.

You are the new HOH.

Yeah!

NARRATOR: d*ck and Daniele quickly

made a deal with Zach to keep themselves

off the chopping block.

Without [muted] doubt.

NARRATOR: At the nomination ceremony,

Zach granted half of their wish--

I've nominated you, Jessica, and you, Jameka, for eviction.

NARRATOR: --setting the stage for the most

important Veto competition yet.

[ding]

Go Jess!

[buzzer]

[buzzer]

[cheering and applause] You're the Veto queen.

Good job!

I love it.

NARRATOR: Holding the Power of Veto

and two of the three eviction votes, all of the power

was in the Donatos' hands.

We pick who leaves this week--

I know.

Eric, Jessica, or Jameka.

I know.

I know.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet.

And I am not going to use the Power of Veto this week.

NARRATOR: Who will be evicted from the "Big Brother" house--

Jameka or Jessica?

And it's a double eviction night.

Over the next hour, the houseguests

will compete in a week's worth of events live.

And by the end of the hour, a second houseguest

will walk out the door.

It all begins now on "Big Brother ."

[theme music]

Good evening, I'm Julie Chen.

Welcome to "Big Brother."

It's day , and the houseguests don't know it yet,

but they're in for a tumultuous night.

It's "Big Brother" Fast Forward.

In the next hour, we will play a full week's game,

and two houseguests will be evicted.

That's right.

Tonight, either Jessica or Jameka

will be sent packing, a new Head of Household will be crowned,

and that HOH must nominate two housemates for eviction.

Then, the Power of Veto competition will be played,

and one more houseguest will be walking out the front door.

And all this will unfold live.

Plus, even though this is live, America's Player

is still working for you.

Get your cell phones ready because in this next hour,

you will be able to tell Eric what to do.

But first, the Donatos now hold all the power

with two of the three votes that will

evict either Jessica or Jameka.

Zach nominated you two both for different reasons.

I'm going to respect those reasons,

and I am not going to use the Power of Veto this week.

This meeting is adjourned.

I consider Jessica one of my good friends in the house.

And will I be campaigning to stay against her?

Absolutely not.

If that's my demise and my downfall in this game,

then so be it.

d*ck and Daniele--

I had the opportunity to get rid of them last week two times,

and I didn't.

And I hope that they'll pay me back by keeping me here.

[whoosh]

[WHISPERING] Jessica has to go this week.

I know, and it's stressing me out too.

[WHISPERING] Eric--

He's going to be crying.

I think it's going to be extremely

hard for him to concentrate--

But you know something else I was kind of thinking of too--

that Jameka's going have to make a deal, and she's going to have

to give us her absolute word.

She's going to have to make a deal with the Devil.

This week, with mine and Daniele's vote, the two votes

out of three that are going to be cast,

me and Daniele decide who goes.

It's just at that point in the game

where we have to do whatever we have to do

to get farther no matter what.

Jameka's feeling a little bit too secure.

I'm going to let her know that you're going home this week.

So you can say your goodbyes and everything else.

And then minutes before the live show,

I'm going to pull her aside and offer her a deal.

And I'm sure she'll take it.

Yes, sir.

I was talking with Daniele, and we thought that it would

only be the cool thing to do--

Uh-huh.

--to let you know what's up.

We-- we're going to send you to the jury house this week.

If you want to talk or anything, feel free.

Well, I don't have anything to say.

But thank you nonetheless very much.

It's all right.

I appreciate it.

[EMOTIONALLY] I'm here playing for my nieces,

and my godchildren, my parents.

So I am not ready to go.

Hey.

Hey.

He did tell me that I'm the one going home, Jess.

He did?

Mm-hmm.

But I don't know if it's one of those,

I'm going to tell you this and do something

different, or whether--

Yeah.

'Cause I said, well, are you going to tell anybody?

He was like, no, I'm telling you.

But I'm telling you, and I'm not saying anything else.

But we'll see.

Hoping that something will happen.

[music playing]

Hello.

Hey.

You did?

What'd she say?

d*ck told me I was going home, Jess.

And I was like, what, you know.

What did she kind of say?

She's like, well, I don't know if he's trying

to test me and see if I'll tell anyone,

or he wants me to tell everyone.

I don't know.

I guess I'm just not going to believe it until it happens.

Yeah, but if they wanted one of us out,

we would have been sitting next to each other.

He knows that I'm stressing out about being on the block,

but just the reassurance from Eric, you know,

makes me feel that I'm OK now.

Because otherwise with the Veto,

we could have both protected ourselves.

So they wouldn't take that risk.

They're smart enough to realize that.

Yeah.

I feel confident that Jessica is going to be safe this week.

She has nothing to worry about.

d*ck and Daniele are going to come through with their word.

[whoosh]

[music playing]

All right.

Let's see what we've got.

Which of the two nominees do you want

Eric to get evicted from the "Big Brother" house?

Thank God-- Jameka.

That is a big, big relief.

If I want any chance of making it to the final two

and America making it to the final two,

I need Jessica fighting this battle by my side.

[whoosh]

[music playing]

What's up?

This is me and only me.

Jess has no clue that I'm saying this or anything like that

or whatever.

Is she going to stay or is she gonna go?

If she is leaving, just please tell me so that I know.

No, you're good.

I would understand if she left.

And I don't want to start acting crazy around her

because then it's going to start getting her all shook up.

No, I know.

And I'm saying this is not her issue.

This is totally on me, and I just had, like,

a mini freak-out or whatever.

Chill out, you freak.

She would k*ll me--

k*ll me-- if she knew that I even asked you this.

But I knew that you wouldn't hold it against me if I came--

No worries.

--to you on a personal level.

No worries.

The houseguests are in for a shock.

Let's go to the living room and give

them the news about tonight's whirlwind of events.

[indistinct chatter]

Hello, houseguests.

Hey!

Hi, Julie.

You are about to experience a live show like no other.

Oh, great.

It's "Big Brother" Fast Forward.

Tonight, two of you will be leaving

the "Big Brother" house. - Oh my gosh.

JULIE: And at the end of the hour,

we will be down to our final four.

What?

JULIE: Time is of the essence.

So let's get started.

Jameka, Jessica, in just a few moments,

your housemates will cast their votes to evict live.

You now have one last chance to plead your case.

Jameka, you're up first.

As I have stated before being in this game,

I have enjoyed my time here.

I hope that my time here is not ending tonight.

I've made some good decisions and not so good

decisions in this game.

But one thing has remained the same-- that I've given my word,

and once you have that, you know that it's

a guarantee regardless.

So with that said, I know that in this game,

you know, strategic first, conversations later.

So I hope that I'm still here.

JULIE: Thank you.

Jessica, what would you like to say?

I thought walking through the door

to find out that my rival from high school

would be the hardest week ever in the house,

but this has actually been the hardest

week, sitting next to Jameka, who I'm so close with.

But if it's my time to go, it's my time to go.

If it's my time to stay, I'm happy with that.

And may the best person win.

Thank you both.

It's now time for the live voting to begin.

Zach, as current Head of Household,

you are not allowed to vote, neither are the two nominees.

Eric, you're up first.

Please head to the Diary Room to cast your vote.

[music playing]

America, we know that you've instructed Eric to vote

to evict Jameka, so I'm going to take

this opportunity to give him a secret message

about his next task.

Hello, Eric.

Hey, Julie.

Even though there will be two evictions in the next hour,

America will still be telling you what to do.

OK.

After the HOH competition, I will ask one of the houseguests

to lead all of you back into the house.

That is the person America wants you to target

for the upcoming nominations.

OK.

JULIE: Got it?

I'll do my best. JULIE: Thank you, Eric.

Thank you.

d*ck had planned to evict Jessica,

but did news of the double eviction change his plans?

Hello, d*ck. - Hey, Julie.

How you doing tonight?

Woo.

I'm all right.

Are you pretty surprised by the double eviction?

Yeah, I am.

But I'm kind of stoked.

Let's get this show on the road.

JULIE: Hmm.

All right.

Well then, let's not waste any time.

All right.

JULIE: d*ck, please cast your vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Jessica.

JULIE: Thank you, d*ck.

Daniele and her father don't always get along,

but they have always voted the same.

Let's see if that holds true tonight.

Hello, Daniele.

Hi, Julie.

How are you feeling tonight?

I feel really nervous.

That was a lot to take in.

[laughs]

JULIE: So you were pretty caught--

you were caught off guard by this double eviction, then?

Honestly, we kind of had an idea maybe,

but we thought that it would have been sooner.

So yeah, this is definitely a surprise.

JULIE: Well, let's get it going then.

OK.

JULIE: Please cast your vote to evict.

Unfortunately, I have to vote to Jessica this week.

JULIE: Thank you, Daniele.

Thanks, Julie.

Let's go back to the living room and reveal the results.

Houseguests, just a reminder-- when

I reveal the vote, the evicted houseguest

must immediately say goodbye, gather her belongings,

and walk out the front door.

By a vote of two to one, Jessica,

you are evicted from the "Big Brother" house.

[inaudible]

I'm really sorry.

Sorry, Jess.

[WHISPERING] I've done more inside of this game,

and I'm going do this for you.

Thank you.

Jameka-- [inaudible].

OK.

OK?

I love you.

Win that Veto, OK?

You can do it.

Boo-yah.

Boo-yah You can do it.

I love you, Jess.

Unbelievable.

[crying] Oh, man.

[music playing]

JULIE: You can put your bag down now.

OK.

JULIE: Come on over.

Hi, Jessica.

Hi, Julie.

- Welcome. - Hi.

Please have a seat.

Not surprised.

What is that?

A game.

I said I'm not surprised. I understand.

I'm sorry.

The only thing is, Daniele, when I asked,

you could have just told me.

There was nothing we could have done to change it.

Eric, trust me, I did not know then.

- It was last minute. - There was--

We talked about it.

That's honestly the only complaint I have.

I just asked for two days with her if I, you know,

knew that she was going to go.

We didn't really talk about it.

And it was not in--

there was nothing we could have done to campaign

or change the votes anyway.

The votes were there.

Either way, I would have liked to have had the time

and knowing. That's all.

We didn't really make a decision--

I know, Eric. And I told you no--

Jessica, for the past week, you've been worried

that you would be sitting here.

But Eric assured you you were safe, so you didn't campaign.

No.

Why didn't you go with your gut instinct?

Campaigning wouldn't do anything.

I knew I couldn't trust the Donatos.

And I thought I could.

And I mean, maybe it was the last second, like,

when they realized it was going to be a double eviction

that they decided to get me out because I

am such a strong competitor.

I think they were seriously afraid of me.

Now that you're out of the house,

what do you hope your future is with Eric?

I love Eric.

He has been so good to me in the house

and may be something outside of the house.

Who knows?

So inside the house, your feelings for him were real?

My feelings for him were real, yes.

We-- strategically, we were close,

and that grew into personally close.

Let's listen to your goodbye messages.

- OK. - Right over here.

[music playing]

I am so sorry.

Strategically, it just was the only way

to go in order to ensure that both me

and Daniele stay in the house.

I'm sorry I was the HOH that had to put you on the block.

We had some good times.

Hopefully, you won't hold any hard feelings against me.

I guess I'll see you in a few weeks.

Take care.

It was really fun getting to know you this summer.

I hope you don't take it personal.

It's all just strategic, and I am really sorry.

They told me that it would be me.

I will genuinely miss you with all of my heart.

You're a champion and All-American star,

and I love you and miss you.

I don't think you know how much I need you here

and how much I want you here.

I am going to be a maniac for as long as I stay,

fighting for your honor.

Jessica, I love you.

Aw.

Jessica, thank you.

You are off to the jury house. - Thanks.

But we'll see you back here on September --

OK.

--when you help determine the winner.

OK. [laughs]

[music playing]

Right now, it's time to determine

the new Head of Household.

Houseguests, I need you to head to the backyard

for the HOH competition.

Head of Household-- it's 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.

Zach, the current HOH is not eligible to compete.

Neither is Jameka, who gave up her chance to compete

for HOH for five weeks.

This is week number five.

Who will be the next HOH?

And who will be the next two nominees?

America, it's time for you to tell Eric who

you want him to get nominated.

Vote live during this commercial break,

and I'll reveal the results to Eric

after the Head of Household competition when we return.

[theme music]

Welcome back.

Tonight, it's an entire week of "Big Brother,"

and it's all happening in this one, live hour.

So let's go to the backyard and find

out who will be the next HOH.

Houseguests, the power is up for grabs.

Zach, as the current HOH, you are not eligible to compete.

And Jameka, you gave up the right

to complete for HOH for five weeks,

and this is week number five.

Houseguests, tonight's game is called "Before or After."

You are standing in the middle of three stairs.

I will name two events that occurred this summer.

You must decide which came before

and which came after the other.

You will step back to select "before" or step

forward to select "after."

There will be eight questions.

The houseguest with the highest number of correct answers

will be the new Head of Household.

Is everyone ready? - Yes.

Yes, Julie.

Good luck, everyone.

Question one-- did Jen cry over her memory wall picture

before or after Amber cried over her first eviction nomination?

Answers, please.

The correct answer is "before."

You all got it right.

You all get a point.

Next question-- did Amber handcuff herself

to Kail before or after Joe tasted

an anchovy and cabbage pie?

Answers, please.

I need an answer.

Now.

The correct answer is "after."

You all got it right.

We all move on.

Question three-- did Jameka say during a Veto ceremony, "I

actually want my actions to be aligned with my words" before

or after Nick shaved his head?

Answers, please.

The correct answer is "before."

d*ck, you got it wrong.

Eric, you got it wrong.

Daniele, you got it right.

You take the lead with three points.

Next question-- go to the middle step, please.

Did I ask Dustin a viewer question about his gray t-shirt

before or after I asked Jameka whether she would still give up

the five HOH competitions if she could go back and do it again?

Answers, please.

The correct answer is "after."

d*ck and Eric, you both got it right.

Daniele, you got it wrong.

So the score is tied at three apiece.

Next question-- did Jen say during a nomination ceremony

that the house would be a happier place

without negative vibes before or after she wore a red unitard?

Answers, please.

The correct answer is "before."

d*ck, you got it wrong.

Eric, you got it right.

You also got it correct, Daniele.

Next-- did Amber and Dustin win lobster tails for the house

before or after Zach went streaking across the backyard

to the pool?

Answers, please.

Answers.

The correct answer is "before."

d*ck, you and Eric both got it right.

Daniele, you got it wrong.

Eric is in the lead with five.

Reset to the middle step.

Did Jen win her second Power of Veto

before or after the houseguests witnessed a plane flying

a banner over the backyard?

Answers, please.

The correct answer is "after."

d*ck, you got it right.

Eric, you got it wrong.

Daniele, you got it right.

Next question-- during the Veto meeting,

did Amber say, "my journey has been an amazing journey,"

before or after she said, "obviously, no one

wants to be up in this chair.

It's a crappy feeling"?

Answers, please.

The correct answer is "before."

Congratulations, d*ck.

You're the only one who got it right,

which means you're the new Head of Household.

[music playing] - Yes!

- [shrieks] - Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

[kisses]

Congrats.

JULIE [VOICEOVER]: America, you want Eric to get

Daniele nominated.

As promised, I'm going to inform him by asking Daniele to lead

everyone back into the house.

All right. Daniele--

Yes.

JULIE: Please lead everyone back inside.

Nominations will be happening in just a few minutes.

Everyone to the living room.

[WHISPERING] If it makes you feel better,

I didn't get any more questions.

Messed up one.

Wait, what?

I didn't get asked HOH questions.

Oh my god.

[laughing] That sucked.

That's hilarious.

You know, Jess wasn't--

That's so sad.

And I have to go--

Coming up, the new Head of Household

must nominate two people for eviction live.

Who will d*ck put on the chopping block?

The nomination ceremony is next.

[music playing]

[theme music]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Moments ago, d*ck became the new Head of Household.

Right now, he must nominate two houseguests for eviction.

Let's listen in on the last-minute strategy.

[WHISPERING] [inaudible] even if it's a [inaudible]

for five minutes [inaudible].

OK.

Nice job, dude.

Last question was a total guess.

Oh, me too.

And I did what I do on every single competition.

I said, well, it makes a hell of a lot more sense to be before.

So if they're asking it, it must be after.

And I--

JULIE: Houseguests, I need everyone to gather

in the living room right now.

It's time for the nomination ceremony.

You're going to put up Daniele and Zach, right?

[laughs]

Well, Daniele's going up for sure.

[laughs] I figured as much.

Oh, thanks.

I wanted to, you know, pull you

aside into storage and campaign for that,

but I knew it was going to happen already.

So I just--

Watch the mic.

--figured I'd let it speak for itself.

Yeah, we got it--

It's all the way by your knee.

All right, d*ck.

Please stand up, face your housemates,

and make your nominations.

Wow, this really sucks.

We all kind of had a feeling that it was coming,

and I am sorry I'm put on the spot like this.

Jameka and Eric, you're both nominated.

Sorry.

It is all game.

[inaudible] nomination, congrats.

That's a first.

Yeah.

Making "Big Brother" history again.

Thank you, houseguests.

Get ready because the Veto competition is next.

Will the Power of Veto save either Jameka or Eric?

The Veto competition plus tonight's second live vote

eviction when we return.

[music playing]

[theme music]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It's been a busy night for the houseguests.

So far, Jessica was sent packing,

and d*ck became the new Head of Household.

He then nominated Jameka and Eric for eviction.

Now the nominees have one last chance to save themselves.

It's time for the Power of Veto competition.

I feel like I'm doing a roller derby.

Houseguests, it's time for the Veto competition.

Whoever wins the Power of Veto can

use it to remove one of the nominees

from the chopping block.

This competition is called "Niagara ba*ls."

Moments from now, the floodgates will open and more than ,

rubber ba*ls will pour down on you.

You must collect only the green ba*ls

and stack them in your clear tube.

The first houseguest to fill their tube with eight

green ba*ls and press the button on their podium

wins the Power of Veto.

[music playing]

Is everyone ready?

Yes, Julie.

JULIE: Go over and stand on the Veto symbol.

[inaudible] joking.

I don't [inaudible].

JULIE: The competition begins now.

Ow, my face.

Ow.

Ow.

My head.

JULIE: The house--

Jameka has one.

And Jameka's got one.

I don't see any.

Now, the houseguests are well-padded

for a very good reason.

That is pounds of rubber raining down on them.

The total number of ba*ls they must search through to find

their eight green ba*ls--

,--

[audio out]

Jameka has three green ba*ls.

Ow!

Ow.

I don't see anything.

Ow.

JULIE: Again, you need eight to win, houseguests.

Oh.

[laughs]

JULIE: d*ck, you have one so far.

Daniele makes her first green ball.

Eric has two. - Ow.

Ow.

JULIE: Jameka still in the lead with three green ba*ls.

Ow.

Ow.

My god.

JULIE: Zach has two green ba*ls.

Oh, [muted].

JULIE: Zach has three.

Ow.

JULIE: Zach ties the lead with Jameka at three ba*ls apiece.

[grunts]

Good job, Zach.

Ow!

JULIE: Zach in the lead with four green ba*ls.

What the hell was that?

Dammit.

How'd he put that blue ball?

JULIE: Eric still has three.

Jameka has five.

Ah!

No!

No.

No, I need it.

JULIE: Zach has five, but Jameka,

you have been disqualified.

You put a blue ball in your clear tube.

No, I did not!

No, I did not! - Jameka, I need the ball.

I need the ball.

Eric, no, I need it.

I did not put that in there, Julie.

It fell in there.

[grunts]

JULIE: Zach needs two more.

Zach needs one more.

Come on, Zach.

Julie, I did not put that in there.

Please look at the tape.

[dinging]

JULIE: And Zach is the winner.

Congratulations, Zach-- - Yeah!

JULIE [VOICEOVER]: --you have won the Power of Veto.

I really-- I see.

JULIE: You have just a few minutes--

Woo!

JULIE: --to decide if you're going to use it.

[music playing]

Good job.

I love these.

- What? - Those hurt.

Did I do something to you?

No, I--

Will the nominations change?

The live Veto ceremony is next.

Stay with us.

[music playing]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

Zach has just won the Power of Veto, but will he use it?

Let's listen in on what's going on inside the house.

Ain't that-- oh, it's missing a whole piece.

Hey, Rich.

Oh, is that still going to be out there?

[muted]

[muted]

JULIE [VOICEOVER]: Now let's return to the living

room for the Veto meeting.

Hello, houseguests.

It is time to begin the Veto meeting.

I thought you had to be over there.

I'm sorry.

Jameka.

Holy crap.

Hurry.

Jameka?

[sighs]

She's here.

OK, wonderful.

Zach, as winner of the Power of Veto,

you may remove one of the nominees

from the chopping block.

Jameka and Eric, you now have a chance to plead your case.

Jameka, what would you like to say?

I just want to say that I'm not ready to go home yet.

I have a lot that I feel I can still contribute to the house,

and I hope you take that into consideration.

JULIE: Thank you, Jameka.

Eric, it's your turn.

This house, these game, these people--

Zach, I have no expectation that you're going to use

this, but vote smart, guys.

I have no friends on this jury.

I haven't won a competition in weeks.

Give me a fair chance to play this game.

Thank you.

JULIE: Thank you both.

Zach, go ahead and stand up--

All right.

JULIE: --and do what you're going to do.

Winning Power of Veto, instantly a very--

a lot of power, a lot of time to think

over the course of the event.

At this point in time, I'd really like to use it,

but I'm not.

I'm not going to use it.

I made an oath to my group.

I'm going to stick to it.

I will not use the Power of Veto this week.

Thank you very much.

Houseguests, we'll be right back for another live vote

and eviction.

Coming up, the second live vote.

Either Jameka or Eric will be evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

Stay with us.

[music playing]

[theme music]

Welcome back to "Big Brother."

It's been a roller coaster ride for the houseguests so far

tonight.

At the beginning of the hour, Jessica was evicted,

and now either Jameka or Eric will be evicted next.

Let's return to the living room.

Hello again, houseguests.

Hello again, Julie.

Jameka, Eric-- in just a few minutes, your housemates will

cast their votes to evict live.

You now have one last chance to plead your case.

Remember, what you say right now could

determine whether you stay in the game

or go to the jury house.

Jameka, you're up first.

I would like to say that being on the block this many times

is not fun.

It's not something I'm enjoying.

But at the same time, it is how this game works,

and I understand that.

I want you to not only vote in terms

of who is going to be the person who will further advance you

in this game, but also keep into consideration

that I have kept my word.

I'm a woman of my word, and I still stand by that.

So thank you.

JULIE: Thank you, Jameka.

Eric, what would you like to say?

Obviously, I'm disappointed and surprised to be

in this position right now.

All I can say to the three of you,

the power is in your hands.

If you actually run through your collective minds right now,

you will see that I've been good to the three of you

in this game.

Any word I've given you, I have stuck to.

I had the opportunity to eliminate all three of you

in this game, and I chose not to because I did believe

in what you were saying to me.

Obviously, to some degree, that trust

was breached earlier this evening,

but I've been good to you.

Be good to me.

Give me a fair chance.

Thank you.

JULIE: Thank you, Eric.

It's now time for the live voting to begin.

The two nominees cannot vote.

In the event of a tie, d*ck, as current Head of Household,

you will break it.

Zach, you're up first.

[music playing]

It's a crucial vote for Zach.

He must decide who he wants next to him in the final four.

Hello, Zach.

Hello.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Eric.

JULIE: Thank you, Zach.

It could all come down to Daniele's vote.

What will she do?

Hello, Daniele.

Hey, Julie.

Please cast your vote to evict now.

I vote to evict Eric.

Thank you, Daniele.

Thanks, Julie.

The votes are in, and Eric has been evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

Let's return to the living room and reveal the results.

Houseguests, just a reminder-- when

I reveal the vote, the evicted houseguest

must immediately say goodbye and walk out the front door.

By a vote of two to zero, Eric, you are evicted

from the "Big Brother" house.

[inaudible]

I'm sorry, Eric.

It's OK.

You played a good game, dude.

Thank you.

Not good enough. - Sorry, bro.

- No, no problem. - [inaudible]

- To be expected. - It's OK.

- Thank you guys. - Poor Jameka.

It's OK. - I appreciate it.

Nothing but game.

No ill will.

Just keep in mind you sent the Philadelphia lawyer

to the jury.

So-- [laughs] you know--

You are, huh?

We'll see-- no, no, not at all.

But, you know--

Just remember, it's nothing but game.

It was nothing personal. - I know.

I love you to death, bro, seriously.

I know, guys. Good luck to--

I had the best time with you here of anyone.

Honestly, good luck to all of you.

Doesn't-- you know, I'm not leaving with sour grapes.

I appreciate it, guys.

Best of luck.

May the best person win.

Send Jen our regards.

Love you all. Will do.

I love you, Eric.

Hopefully, she's dead by shark attack.

[laughs]

Bye, Eric.

HOH, guys.

Yeah.

[music playing]

Hello.

Hello, America's Player.

Eric, welcome.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Please have a seat. - Will do.

Come here for a second.

[sighs]

[inaudible]

I know.

Not about you, [inaudible].

Yes, yes.

OK. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

If she doesn't get it, we have her vote this week.

If what?

Even if she doesn't get it, we have her POV

and we have her vote this week too.

I know.

Good job, you guys.

Good job, you.

Good job, you.

That's to you.

I know.

What are you racking them [muted]----

What?

[inaudible] and what do you think it's going to be, guys?

You think somebody else put that in your thing?

They would have called it if somebody else did.

No, no. I think when it bounced--

I think that it's a possibility that--

Oh, shut up. You think it went right in?

- I think so. - There is a possibility.

If somebody had just bumped in the way or--

No, it just bounced--

Well, Eric, for seven years now,

you've been dying to go in the "Big Brother" house.

How difficult is this moment for you?

Actually, I'm really at peace with it, Julie.

I feel like I played the best game I could possibly

play under the circumstances.

I had obstacles that nobody else had to deal with in this house.

I'm not surprised of what happened.

And the people who did it to me would

have been long gone if the decisions were in my hands, so.

The circumstances you speak of is being

America's Player, no doubt.

Yes, indeed.

JULIE: What was the toughest part of being America's Player?

Well, you know, it was very difficult to balance

my personal goals in this game with America's goals.

I embraced what America was doing.

It was a great honor to be selected as America's Player.

At the same time, things would have unfolded very

differently in this house if I had

my complete say in the matter.

JULIE: Really?

Like how so?

Well, Dustin and Amber would still be here.

d*ck, and Daniele, and Zach would be long gone.

I mean, it's the way it is.

It was my job to honor America's wishes.

Unfortunately for myself, I did a great job in doing it,

and they were pulling for the people

that sent me out of this house.

I fought hard to see that I got the people

evicted America wanted evicted.

I succeeded almost every time.

They weren't necessarily the people I wanted to see go,

but that was the position I was in.

And I wanted to do it for the fans.

You said going into the house the last thing you wanted

was a showmance.

So was the showmance with Jessica real?

Oh, it wasn't a showmance whatsoever, Julie.

It was genuine, honest feelings.

It was in no way part of my game whatsoever.

It was a greatly pleasant surprise

and something wonderful that I found in this house

that I never expected.

JULIE: But did you feel that that got in the way

of you playing the game?

Oh, absolutely not, absolutely not.

She was a perfect partner, tried and true.

I'm just sad that my role as America's Player

may have compromised her position in this house

as well as being my ally.

Well, Eric, as you know, for every five America's

Player tasks that you successfully completed,

you earned $,.

And right now, you're leaving the "Big

Brother" house with $,.

So congratulations on that.

Thank you very much.

But you do have one more task.

Ooh.

That's to show back up here on September

and help determine the winner.

But for now, you are off to the jury house.

Fair enough.

Thank you very much, Julie.

And Jessica's there.

Well, exactly.

Yeah, minutes later, right? [laughs]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good night.

And you're like--

I did not very good.

You were ahead. Because we both--

- At one second. - I know.

That's it, one question.

And I was like yes.

And then it was, like, Eric, and I'm like, oh!

Up to the Nick hair question, and that's it.

And then it all got tied up again.

What was the question?

He shaved his head before what?

Oh my god, I don't remember.

Well, it was an obvious thing, though,

if you thought about it.

Well, he shaved his head right at the end.

Yeah.

I got one--

I think that was the one that I got wrong.

Nick-- - You did.

Again, Nick.

Ah!
