Post by bunniefuu »

Announcer: previously on "big brother" -- the th sense

Power alliance was running the house.

And they planned to protect the twins.

We have to survive five weeks.

Then what?

After jeff brought up his suspicions to austin --

If jeff is going to keep pressing this liz and julia

Thing it's making him a bigger target in my mind.

They put a pit stop on the block.

Austin develops feelings for one of the twins have any have a

Strong connection with liz.

But when jeff had an undercover meeting with liz --

I know more about you than you think --

He blew his stack.

Why were you under the covers together?

At the live eviction, by a vote of -, jeff, you are

Evicted from the "big brother" house.

The salesman hit the door.

At a s head of household competition, the th sense

Remained in power.

Julie: congratulations to liz and shelli, you two ladies

Are the new heads of household!

Announcer: tonight, four houseguests will be nominated

And s week continues with a grunge inspired battle of the

Block, all of this right now on "big brother"!

Oh, no, it's steve again!

Oh, no, it's steve again!

Girl power in the house, yet

Again!

Nice.

Oh, my god.

This is so amazing, being double hoh with liz.

We are in the th sense together.

We are up in the big room.

I mean, we are doing awesome and sitting pretty for another week.

I'm so excited.

Here, liz.

It's hilarious.

That was so awesome.

I am thrilled to be the new head of household!

I know that I'm not going home this week since shelli and I are

Pretty close and that means julia and liz and we just have

To make it through a few more evictions to play in the house

Together.

The twin team is moving on up.

Oh, girl power.

More girl power.

This is the most beautiful come backing ever!

Two weeks ago, no one even wanted to be in the same room

With me and now I have two people that are in complete

Control of the whole house and as far as I know, they are not

Gunning for me.

I don't know what happened, but it's working!

I'm feeling a little alone right now.

It's going to be really hard picking up the pieces.

My number one concern is that I'm not associated by his

Actions when leaving the house and hoping that I won't become a

Target because of it.

Oh, man!

I love you so much.

I'm going to k*ll it.

Yes!

I am so excited!

I just literally imagine myself winning and like I'm going to

Win, I'm going to win.

Tomorrow not today ok.

I'm so excited because all of these people have been talking

About me all week.

Hadha, ha, in your faces.

I vote to evict james.

James.

James.

James.

Jeff received four votes this week and almost split the house.

There's some very shady stuff going on with the votes this

Week.

Somebody lied directly to my face.

Johnny mack and becky voted the other way.

They're a threesome now.

I voted to evict james over jeff.

I know it went completely against what my alliance

Instilled in me but I never made a connection with james.

Jeff and i, we had a great connection so I'm % going to

Keep it a secret.

They won't find out until they're evicted and that's just

Too bad.

I get to play next week.

You don't want to be a threat.

It's good, it's good.

I was just worried.

It was so easy.

Now I'm doubting him.

He's the smartest person.

He does music for a living.

I know.

Oh, my god, ok.

I should have gotten the first question.

I screwed up.

Oh, well, jason is screwed again.

It's so annoying, I wish somebody else would --

You don't get nominated and --

Back door, of course is that scary but it's also so stupid

Why everyone nominates me every time.

They're afraid to make a move on a target so let's just keep

Throwing the same people up.

I'm really alone in the game.

I'm afraid to be a nominee because they keep throwing me up

There knowing you're not going to get anyone mad if I'm going

Home.

No one is going to fight and defend me and it's easy to see.

She will come after me probably because I have been

Talking about the twin thing.

You ain't heard about this?

About the rumor about an alternating twin?

Uh-huh.

Hey, poopy-head.

Good morning.

I tried.

I know.

Attention to detail comp.

You will get the endurance one.

Was it you?

Just had to check.

Who wants to see our hoh room?

We want to see it!

I am so, so psyched to head upstairs to my new hoh room

But at the same time I am just so nervous I'm going to keep a

Close eye out on jason and johnny mack because they're

Looking really hard into the twin thing.

I have no idea what to expect.

Go, liz.

≫> you're so cute.

It's so you.

I have a theory one of the twins has a crown number nine

Tooth and the other one doesn't.

Looking at liz's hoh photos and the one, liz doesn't have

Number nine in yet.

I'm thinking very clever liz and family.

You're hiding it very well.

Hi, mom.

My beautiful human.

I miss you.

Just wanted to send you a little whoop and a big hug.

I'm happy that you are having a great adventure.

I am happy that you are mine -- wait.

Oh, love rango.

Oh, my baby.

I love you, rango.

Shelli's letter is written by her dog.

Honestly the letter is probably more intelligently composed than

A letter that clay could write.

My darling liz, this is the hardest and most troubling task

Of my life to not be able to see you, talk to you, listen to your

Stories, laugh with you, all of this suddenly removed from me.

Please do not cry when you read this letter.

Remember, you are an ugly cryer.

That was so awesome.

Love mom.

And I'm just saying to myself this letter is lacking heart

Felt emotion content directed at one person.

It just seems like it could have easily been written to two

People that are kind of similar.

It's just supporting the twin theory even more.

Do, everyone.

It's time.

James, liz, austin, dusty.

Ok.

I wake up in the morning and think to myself, is this real?

Is it real?

I'm in the big brother house, I can't believe that this is real,

Is this really real ♪ ♪?

Yes.

This is really.

Is it real?

I think it's real.

I don't know if this is real but I know one thing that is

Real and it's this hot dog sandwich in this guy's belly.

♪ ♪ So happy that this is my

Life ♪ ♪ this is your life

♪ So glad this is my life ♪ .

Good job.

I'm so nervous, I have never done that.

You will be great.

How do you feel?

Freaked out because I had no idea what to do.

They know that you're a twin.

They know that this gives you one more week and that they

Don't know what the twin twist is so that scares them.

≫> that's just going to make you

More of a target next week so we need to protect you to get you

Through that.

I see who it is.

It is clay.

Clay, what are your thoughts.

Clay's thoughts.

Let's protect these two man.

I think we have to get out somebody that would go against

Us this week.

I worry about jason coming after liz.

Jason?

Jason, meg.

Or james?

I think jason would be best option because you know he would

Come after this group.

And you can have two more who less likely affect our game but

If they go home it's still a win.

It's all about the th sense alliance we have worked

Together to day our da' and jeff.

And now we need another target for someone that is going to

Come after us.

Somebody big ask we have too take them out now.

Jackie, nothing against her but --

I just see right through her.

I think I'm going to put her up and I need someone else.

What if I put her between audrey and jackie?

I think audrey could still be number two us.

Audrey is a target for them.

Audrey has to be a back door situation.

It's at that point that if again she gets saved and not

Back doored people are going to start connecting the dots and

Recognizing wait, shelli did that, vanessa did that --

This extra vote, the fourth vote, it's being speculated.

I think it's becky.

A lot of things to think about.

Ok.

I was going to wait to catch up with you.

A lot has gone on.

I just literally put my game on hold, like done.

Now you have like a new lease on life because you're totally

Separated from him.

So I don't wanted to make it clear with austin, even though

Him and jeff didn't get along well, it doesn't mean austin and

I glnt whatever happened with him isn't associated with me.

Not for me.

We're completely different.

But do you know what is going on, what you would want to do.

I don't know.

Because this was -- the whole jeff thing came off guard and

Originally everything was audrey, audrey.

I don't see why they would go after you.

I could see you be used as a pawn but you're not going

Anywhere.

I'm on your side.

I am.

Now that jeff is gone jackie seems to be a free agent in her

House.

If I can get in her head perhaps I have a new working

Relationship in the house that I didn't think was possible while

Jeff was here.

I like you could sow I don't want you to go.

I don't foresee that but you never know.

But he did have a fight with the hoh.

Exactly.

It seems like austin is trying to have my back in the

Game but at the same time he's trying to scare me a little bit

And pointing out I may be going up as a pawn.

I don't know what kind of game he is trying to play with me.

I guess I will go finish working out.

Good talk.

Just catching up.

Exact apply.

I think that you and I kind of play a similar game in a

Sense that we're here to watch and of course quieter, you know,

Just listen -- yeah.

So we can use that a*mo for later.

I just want to protect myself for now.

As far as I'm concerned you're totally golden.

I think liz is -- he just came to me right now

And said I think liz is going to put you up as a pawn, you should

Go talk to her.

I'm telling shelli about austin because I'm not sure what

Kind of game he is trying to play with me.

Shelli since she is hoh I want to make sure that she will keep

Me safe this week.

It's really weird.

We have not confirmed anything.

We have not spoken with anybody.

What the heck austin you could have told us that you were

Going to go tell jackie.

You have to run stuff by us.

You're starting to worry me man.

She would have put me up.

We have never talked game.

Then again -- I'm not sure about austin

Keeping me on.

I don't know about austin.

I don't know about austin.

All right. Darling.

We have some great info for you.

Any time that I get information that I find to be important

You're the first person that I want to talk to.

I to jacky.

Basically what I'm about to tell you is that we have to be very,

Very careful about austin.

Jackie goes yeah, you know because austin just came

Downstairs and pulled me aside and he warned me.

He said, you know, I think liz might be putting you up.

So you might want to be careful, you might want to talk to liz.

And I don't think that he knows a lot about how to put pieces of

Information together, and I felt that anything said in that

Conversation might filter back around through the house like it

Always tends to.

Your point is that you're beginning to wonder about

Austin.

I have had moments where he has done things that made me

Wonder too.

Jackie was expressing concern to me about austin.

But the point is, he should have said is it ok if I do

This -- that should be out in the open.

I think we need to be so careful when we're in this room

That we're having conversations when austin is in the room.

We can't vocalize as much information because I don't

Trust him.

I have known austin can be an emotional player but he should

Have come to the group first and made sure that was do before

Going rogue.

Who am I going to put up?

Ok.

The targets are basically jackie and becky so if you want to put

Up jackie with james.

Or steve.

Or steve so that if one of them comes down becky goes up.

I'm a little bit worried about being three throned this week

And that means liz would not be hoh which means that austin

Will be running her game.

I'm not sure where his head is.

I would like to stay in charge to make sure that things go

Pretty smooth this week.

So our number one sole purpose?

How do you feel if we put up jason?

Jason and johnny mack.

Here is my concern, because we're telling other people what

He has done.

I don't want to put johnny mack up.

I don't know what to do.

You put up johnny mack.

If you want to go all out and put up steve and jason and let

Them battle it out, that's less stress, you can do that, let

Them duke it out, whoever wins, wins.

Whatever.

Jason I need you to go downstairs and have a

Conversation with johnny mack because it the least of amount

Of blood on I had hands and I don't want to put up another

Target.

Oh, my gosh.

Hi, lady girl.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Oh, yeah.

You know johnny mack is not the target.

Never.

Ok.

Where are we at now?

Obviously me and shelli trust you.

How would you feel if you went up?

Seriously, buddy?

Why do I have to to keep cleaning up after you.

Are we allowed to win it.

We want jason gofnlt I hate asking you to throw stuff.

If you hate asking me, just put someone else up.

You don't have to do it.

It suction because we don't know who to put up and shelli is

Freaking out because she doesn't want blood on her hands.

Can you do it?

I have to make up my mind whether I'm going to throw it or

Not.

I think four times but at what point do I start out

Playing everyone else's game and start playing my own:

What are you going to do.

You have to do something justifiable.

You could just put up two people that you would feel

Comfortable going home.

If you're going to target someone you need to target

Someone that is throwing your name out there.

Who else do you know that would throw my name out?

Jason.

That's the only person I know.

Jason.

Is that what you're saying.

Jason is a major threat to my game and if there's anything I

Can do this week to get him out of the house, you bet I'm going

To do it.

Jason is acting very like scared.

The look in his face.

Oh, yeah, he is petrified.

He is like, yeah, I'm going home.

That makes it easier.

Our responsibility as the heads of household is to

Nominate two people for eviction.

Going into this nomination ceremony I am expecting to be

Nominated.

The only week I haven't been nominated in this game was when

I was hoh myself.

I'm just expect being that either liz or shelli make it a

Full trifecta.

I'm a little nervous.

Just got evicted and started trouble in the house.

Hopefully that doesn't trickle down to me where I could be

Going on the block.

Time for the nomination ceremony.

Time for the nomination ceremony.

This is the nomination ceremony.

It is our responsibility as the heads of household to each

Nominate two houseguests for eviction.

I will reveal my nominations first.

The first houseguest I have nominated is ...

The next houseguest I have nominated is ...

I have nominated you james and you jackie.

I haven't played a close connection with you as I have

With other houseguests and I don't know where your head is at

In this game.

I wish you both the best of luck.

The first houseguest I have nominated is ...

The second houseguest I have nominated is ... I have

The second houseguest I have nominated is ... I have

Nominated you jason and you john simply because my pool of people

Is very, very small as to who to put up.

John I have already put you up.

That's why you're up again.

Jason, I have been told that you would essentially come after me

So therefore I'm putting you up.

If that is not true jason I'm giving you every opportunity to

Talk to me about that and know that you are a hard fighter and

I know you can get yourself off the block, dethrone me if you

Have to because I don't want to have to be doing this at all.

S this nomination ceremony is adjourned.

So now I have been nominated four out of four times.

This amazing.

I'm really good at this.

Like if the game was called "get nominated" I would be winning

Right now.

This makes me feel so angry.

There is absolutely no proof that I will go after shelli and

Clay.

I have simply been lied on.

Being nominated two weeks in a row is definitely a hard pill

To swallow but if they keep putting me up on the block they

Will see I'm not to be played with and I will come back after

Them.

Sorry.

I know it's hard.

I feel bad.

I'm like -- I know it's hard.

It's really hard.

It's ok.

I'm not sure where liz's head is at but it might be partially

My fault because I haven't really talked game with her.

So I want you to know that you are absolutely not my

Target.

So I will be safe this week.

You will be safe this week for sure.

I can give you my word on that.

Are you looking at james as the other target then.

I don't know.

I can't really say who the other target is but --

I promise I'm safe percent.

Yesterday.

You are not the target.

Ok.

I'm safe percent then I will trust you.

Ok.

So you're good.

Ok.

Jackie has not really made a deep connection with me in this

Game.

She basically wants me to tell her who is my main target.

I feel like I don't owe her that.

Like if people play -- we will get to that bridge

When we cross it.

Because then you will still be in charge hopefully.

Right.

Right.

In charge.

Go get your beauty sleep.

Ok, girl.

Bye.

What does she want?

People have bails I like -- what did she say?

She was asking me am I the target, like am I good?

She was fishing for answers.

And like you don't know me like that.

And she's acting like -- just suck.

Like have you ever talked to me before this and now you're all

Buddy buddy?

You have never been close to me even once.

Like I would not be mad if she went home.

I don't think she's the immediate target but, hey, crap

Happens in the "big brother" house.

So good luck jackie with battle of the block.

That's why you're on the block in the first place.

This is why it puts me in that position.

People say stuff and you think it's true.

But I want to be honest with you.

I haven't said that.

I am infuriated that audrey lied to shelli so that I would

Become a nominee.

There's absolutely no proof that I would go after shelli.

I am seriously although alone in a house full of serpents.

I was thinking she was just not going to drag my name around

Anymore and I was wrong: audrey confuses me when I

Talk to her.

Audrey has told me that jason would go after me.

If what audrey is telling me is not true I don't know how

Much longer I can continue to protect her in this game.

Seriously, dethrone me.

Like I don't want you to go home >>

Liz, please go to the diary room.

No.

What did you do?

I won hoh.

It was a question game.

Great.

I can't believe you won.

And everyone is freak being out like who was the fourth

Mystery vote.

Why did you -- because you like him.

So me and shelli won hoh and I put up jackie and james.

Shelli put up expwraifn john.

Go talk to austin and he will fill you in.

I can tell he likes me but -- you're a strong competitor

And the reason I'm wearing myself out, I need flirt with

Him and keep him strong.

I'm doing this for us because he is going to get us further in

The game.

Aren't you proud of yourself?

I'm so proud of you.

I'm smart.

I'm smart!

I don't know what the plan is.

They talked to johnny mack before they talked to me.

She kind of said it in her speech though if you really were

The plan she wouldn't have said that.

I'm not there because people lied so --

I think they were talking to johnny mack because he has been

Up every single week.

Because I got one week off in the game.

I have a suspicion john might want to throw the battle of the

Block.

He seems to be just doing what everybody else tells him and not

What is the best for himself.

It's like they're using me like mig.

Is that a thing.

It's not called a pawn anymore.

It's called a meg.

Just you want somebody out put meg up next to them.

I can sense that jason is

Fumed, not just because he's nominated, because I think he

Believes I had something to do with it and to be honest I kind

Of did.

I have questions and concerns.

Until the last second I didn't know what was going on.

The only person I could think to target is jason because of

What you told me.

What?

I didn't hear that directly shelli, like I heard that from

All of you guys like when you were talking.

All of your guys.

I swear.

Audrey -- my god, that's a lie and I'm not going to let you

Make me believe it.

Audrey -- I have stuck up for you and I will continue to do so

Until you give me a reason not to and you're starting to give

Me a reason not to.

I know that our alliance has already been considering jason

As a possible target this week.

But audrey is really putting me on edge and making me feel very,

Very nervous.

I'm just mulling things over in my head and thinking maybe his

Audrey that needs to go home this week.

You are the one who told me that jason would be after me.

I'm very concerned right now.

I'm not planning on anything so tend you home, audrey.

Just don't be suspicious of me.

My fear is that now, if jason stays it's going to come from me

And gets me out.

He will come after you.

Time for battle of the block competition.

Get on your flannels and get ready to grunge out.

Oh, my god.

Oh, man.

This is going to be dirty.

I walk into the back yard and I see this s grunge theme

Going on.

It's pretty cool but I have been partial to a little judas

Priest.

In the early s grunge ruled the world.

If you want to rule the battle of the block competition you

Have to dive into the bb world of grunge.

Liz's nominees will battle shelli's no, nominees to save

Themselves from the block.

The winning pair will dethrone the hoh that nominated them.

Each much you have an alice tied up in chains and secured by

Padlocks.

Your goal is to free alice and take her to nirvana and search

For key through the grunge zone.

Find one from pearl jam, one from the screaming trees and we

Will have you smash pumpkins to find a key.

You can only go to one zone at a time.

After time you find a key you must return to alice and unlock

The padlock.

The first team to take alice to nirvana wins the battle of the

Block.

The losing team and dethroned hoh must endure a punishment

All week long.

Who is ready to play grunge bob?

This is the most crucial battle of the block ever.

I have to make sure I'm safe and if I can't win the battle of the

Block jason is in big trouble.

Winning this battle of the block is crucial because the

Last few weeks I have been throwing them and I don't want

To take control back into my game and just go out there and

Win it.

I'm being told I'm not a target this week but if anything

Happened to jeff last week and look where that got him.

Ready, set, krudges!

The way the block works is each team has to find four

Colored keys to unlocket four colored lock on their alice in

Chains.

The first team to unlock all four and bring alice to nirvana

Is safe for the week.

Once we got out of the mud, honey, we ran right over to

Pearl jam.

I find the first key pretty quickly.

Now we run back through the mud honey and up the ramp to put it

In our lock.

We are one lock down, only three to go.

Ok.

Screaming trees are real crazy.

We have to find this little key and all of this big old pile of

Leave says like finding a needle in a haystack.

The leaves are hard, man.

The screaming trees is just leaves everywhere.

We're ready to dig through and find the key and now it's

Like -- well, the key is just kind of sitting there.

So I grab it.

Oh, we threw the key to them.

God it.

Let's go back.

Thank you, jackie and james for the free yellow key.

You have really cut down our time.

We see you at nirvana.

John and jason have their second key.

We're still searching for the second key.

Me and jackie are so far behind it's ridiculous.

I'm throwing leaves trying to find that little dein the big

Old pile of leaves is like trying to get a bill passed in

Congress.

≫> we finally find our first key

And dive throughout mud honey and mark our first lock.

Three to go.

Full speed ahead.

We got it.

Okay.

John and jason have their third key.

We have three keys and they have like one.

I can taste the victory: next up is the smashing

Pumpkins I am ready to rage in this squash pit.

Pumpkins I am ready to rage in this squash pit.

James and jackie with a second key.

James and jackie are catching up and I'm shaking in my combat

Boots.

It's difficulty to come up with the strength to get through

One of these pumpkins.

I have never smashed a pumpkin in real life.

People put a lot of work in those jack-o-lanterns.

It's rude.

This is all about wrestling moves, elbow drop, a knee.

Pumpleg these things open, let's g.

Jackie and I got our third kee. We make our way throughout

Mud honey, and unlock it and we're ready to go.

Jason caught up and this is the first time I don't want to

Win.

Let's do it.

Guitar solo.

Oh, yes.

We caught up to jason and john and now it's on.

We all meet up in the smashing pumpkin patch and it has turned

Into a mosh pit.

Hopefully me or jackie can come up with the last pumpkin

That has the key in it that seals the deal.

We find our fourth and final key and head back to alice to

Unlock her and bring her back to nirvana.

I really want to win the battle of the block.

Now we have our fourth key and we have to catch up.

It's just about trying to beat the other team to nirvana.

This is not over yet.

I'm like houdini.

I can work with chains or something.

Not a problem.

Let's get up there and get her free!

Congratulations, james and

Jackie.

You won the battle of the block and are now safe for the week!

Jackie and I just won battle of the block and couldn't be any

Better.

I don't know what plans the house had for me and jackie but

It doesn't matter because, guess what, we're safe.

I'm still hoh this week and I'm feeling pretty good about

That because this gives me a little bit more time to ponder

Whether or not I might actually have a bigger target on my

Hands.

All apologies to liz.

You are no longer head of household and must now leave

Nirvana.

But liz you will be smelling like teen spirit!

Oh, no.

Yeah!

I have just in my alliance they will -- I have trust my

Alliance will get me and my sister through the next few

Weeks.

Grunge rockers hated boy bands more than anything so you

Will be doing the ultimate punishment.

You will form a new band.

Any time the pager goes off find your band mates and get ready to

Perform.

Like I'm not embarrassed enough that I just failed the

Comp.

Now I have a dance around and tweedle dee and tweedledum and

John.

Sitting next to jason he is a strong competitor.

He is going to fight his heart out.

Hopefully everything works out.

Who will win the power of veto?

Will it be used to save john or jason from eviction?

Find out wednesday at :, : central on "big brother"!
