Announcer: previously on "big brother": with only nine
Remaining in the battle for the half million dollars...
Nick are you okay?
Announcer: ...michie slid into power.
Yeah, baby!
Our new h.o.h., Michie!
Announcer: and he had his sights set on a big target.
This is about trying to make it to the end, and christie is a
Huge obstacle in me getting that confetti.
Announcer: michie considered putting up christie's
Close ally next to her.
Fiput christie up against si sis, they're going to vote
Christie.
Yeah.
Announcer: but after sis threw nick under the bus...
That deal, who came up with it?
Nick was like, "yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay."
So he ran with it.
Yeah.
We need nick gone.
It's chess and not checkers and I'm going for checkmate.
Announcer: at the nomination ceremony, jackson
Went with his original plan.
I nominated you, christie, and you, analyse.
Announcer: ...leaving tommy to rethink his loyalties.
I may have to give up on christie because fifight too
Hard for her after having used a veto on her last week, it's
Going to show my cards.
Announcer: tonight, the power of veto is on the line.
Will the universe's divine intervention save christie's
Game?
Or will she continue to spiral and dig her own grave?
Nothing's real in here.
Nothing!
Announcer: find out right now on "big brother"!
Man plans, god laughs is a very true saying.
Huh?
This nomination ceremony is adjourned.
I nominated christie and sis this week for eviction.
Christie is by biggest threat.
She has a great social game.
He is physically threatening but even more so, she is a mental
Animal.
I also know she is coming for me and coming for hole.
Sis, she is sort of backup plan this week.
I need to win this veto, because if one of them comes off,
Especially if it's christie, my game is in jeopardy.
Obviously, I'm pissed off.
I'm really pissed off.
I feel like he put me up as a pawn because he wants christie
Gone, and christie is my best friend in this house and it
Really, really, really suction.
I don't know who is going to go, but michie and holly, you all
Better watch out.
It's just annoying.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
It's so annoying.
It's because he want meas out.
I know, but still, like...
Surprise, surprise.
I'm on the block.
I can't say I'm shocked, and, obviously, I'm the target.
I'm going to go lay down if you want to lay down.
Yeah.
My energy is completely shifted this week versus last week.
This week, I have a fire in me and I know I'm not meant to go
Yet.
The universe takes care of good people, and I'm going to win
This veto.
I'm happy to discuss, any answer questions, explain any
Reasonings.
I'm being completely up front about everything this week.
It's cool.
And this is not personal.
I know.
This is the exact opposite of.
I know.
I came here to win and quite frankly, you are two of my
Biggest threats.
Don't worry about it.
It's cool.
Oh, you just got out of your chicken suit and now you're on
The block.
I know.
Wahp, wahp, wahp!
I love you.
I love you.
You better go out and fight for that veto.
It's bittersweet because if I win it you're staying on the
Block and if you win it, I'm staying, so it sucks either way.
You know what I mean.
Hi, nominees!
Hi.
I love you both.
Love you, too.
Love you.
How you guys doing?
How do you think I'm doing.
Sis is the pawn, I'm the target.
If I come down, sis is going to go home.
That's really what it is.
And if I come down, she goes home.
I didn't know what direction today was going to go.
It is what it is.
It's cool.
I love you guys.
Love you.
Okay, I'm going to go.
She knew exactly... What was going to happen.
I don't care.
I literally don't even care.
This house is a joke.
No more tears.
I cried enough last week for everybody in this house.
I love you both.
Best-case scenario, you go down, I stay up.
Honestly, you could literally be against anyone.
I could be against anyone when I would still stay.
I want you to win it or tommy to win it.
Not to toot my own horn, but I'm really liked in this house.
I have a great social game.
And I know that whoever I'm sitting next to will be going
Home.
So for now, I just feel like it's best that christie either
Wins the veto or gets taken down because I know that I'm going to
Have the votes to stay.
I really feel like if I'm up, I would stay.
That's literally how-- please, don't cry.
You're going to make me cry.
I just hate that it's me and you.
I know.
Because if it wasn't, like, either one of us would have used
It on each other.
I know.
That's why he did it.
I'm just going to pray tonight and hope that--
Me, too.
I'm staying positive.
I'm really staying positive.
Me, too, because I know that there's a way out of this.
The universe is going to have my back.
I know it.
≫you wanna go upstairs?
Yeah, sure.
While michie nominated my two closest allies, he and I still
Have a good repor.
I want christie to win this veto.
I want her to take herself off but I have to think about my
Longevity in this game.
I'm good with mickey and holly.
I've always been good with them.
And I've always tried to make her be good with them, too.
But...
For whatever reason, it didn't work out.
And now here we are.
And I've got to think about myself.
You did good.
How are they handling it?
You know.
It's what's to be expected.
Of course they're not happy about it, but what are you going
To do?
This is a competition, and I want to go against the best
Competitors possible but I want to stay loyal to those who have
Been loyal to me.
I think you are competitively a bigger threat than sir, but you
Haven't been disloyal to me as far as I know.
I haven't.
I have no reason to take a is shot at you.
I have proved to be nothing but loyal to you and holly.
And I mean it.
Like, I am still with you guys.
I'm in a weird position, obviously, this week.
I know-- I'm going to do my best to
Navigate it.
I know the veto is going to be tricky, especially if you get
Picked.
I am going to fight for the veto if I get picked and one of
Them picked me, and I hope we can just discuss and take it
From there.
I love tommy.
I want to work with him in the future and the last thing I want
Is him on the block.
But in the event that sirps to come down, the only way to
Ensure that christie goes home is to, unfortunately, put up
Tommy.
I have faith in you and I want you to continue to do what's
Best for your game.
Okay, cool.
How did that go?
It was good.
I explained everything to him, and he's like, you know, he's
Going to try in the veto.
He will cross that bridge when he gets there.
That's good.
He also doesn't the to be a replacement nom, so...
How about sis and chris?
How are they handling it?
They're not talking to me.
Sis would, like, hardly even look at me.
I made a decision and I stand by it.
Yeah.
We're going to fight for our lives.
I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs.
And if it's the reason why I go out, that's the reason why I go
Out.
But I'm not cowering down to christie.
Not.
I would have rather...
♪ ♪ I'm really--
Yeah.
Love you.
It sucks.
Please don't take this the wrong way, either of you, but I
Would rather you win it and find votes for sis to stay.
All I really know in this game is that I really know nothing.
However, I hope that christie can get herself off the block
This week because having her here means they still have a
Really strong ally in this game, which will definitely help me.
She has a better chance of staying.
I don't even know who would go up in my place, though.
I really thought that nick would go up, honestly.
Kat told me before she left that michie is working with
Nick.
Nick thinks he's the puppet master of this game.
Nick is working with holly and michie.
He's playing all sides.
He really is very good at this.
He plays on people.
He flirts his way through this game with everyone, guy, girl.
He has the street smart and he has the smart and the psychology
Smart.
For the last few weeks, nick has really been trying to regain
Trust and trying to integrate himself back with sis, tommy,
And me, and he's been doing a pretty good job.
But given the b*mb that kat dropped on me right before he
Was evicted and that he narrowly escaped being on the block when
He manipulated and masterminded whole deal with cliff, I'm just
Trying to figure out if nick is playing us or if he plain and
Simple can't be trusted.
This game is savage, man.
This game is sick!
I'm pretty sure christie's the target this week, and I feel
Like if I was still up on the block I would be safe, so I need
To make sure christie comes down, because she's my
Number-one ally this this game.
If I do choose you, will you promise to either use it or
Throw it to christie?
I'll % use it.
Will you throw it to crist gee no.
Why?
Because I don't think you're gonna stay.
Why do you say that?
I have a weird feeling.
Did you talk to him?
I don't know anything.
I just eye just-- have you talked to someone
Else?
No, I swear.
I'm scared.
You do whatever you want.
I'm using it on if I get picked.
Why don't you think I'll stay?
I don't know who he's gog put up next to you.
Are you working with him?
Are you dead serious?
Are you actually serious?
Did you actually just say that?
Well, I'm confused.
Like-- why?
Why wouldn't you throw to her?
I don't think you will stay.
Why do you think that?
Because I don't know who he is going to put up next to you.
If I was the h.o.h., I would want both my nominees to stay.
If I win, I'm taking you off.
Sis, you trust me though, right?
Yeah.
I look scary.
How do you feel about nick?
Hi.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Because...
Look, I'm obviously the target.
Michie wants me gone.
I just want you to be honest with me, nick.
You know, like, if you wouldn't want to use ti don't want one of
Us to pick you, and then you don't use it.
Like, I'd rather just win it for myself.
And I just want you to be honest.
That is.
If I get picked I'm going to go after it.
And use it.
Yes.
I do have loyalties to both christie and sis in this game
And I would love for both of them to stay, but if it comes
Down to me and I have the choice I have to keep sis safe.
Me and her relationship has been much more consistent throughout
This game whereas me and christie have been sort of hot
And cold.
I will be honest with you, chris, if I win I will probably
Take her off.
Honestly, nick is so sketchy.
He's telling me straight up he's not going to take me off the
Block and he bees I'm the target.
Whose side are you on, nick?
I mean, I just don't even trust this kid anymore.
Who are you working with, nick?
Everyone?
It's literally nothing against you.
I know it's not.
All right, y'all, it's time to pick players for the veto
Competition.
"Only six people will participate in the veto
Competition: the head of household, the two nominees,
Three other players selected by random draw.
Will the nominees please join me up here.
Of I'm really not wanting to see tommy or nick to get picked.
They're very close with both the nominees and if they won the
Veto, there's a high probability they would uselet veto to change
One of the nominations.
If christie comes off, my plan's shot.
"As h.o.h., I will pick first."
Cliff.
<Span tts:fontstyle="italic"> [ applause ].
I'm really happy that jackson drew my chip.
If I win this veto and keep nominations the same, that's
Only going to help further build the relationship between jackson
And myself.
Nick.
[ Applause ] holly.
[ Applause ] the last person that I want
Being picked is holly, and of course I pick holly.
And now that just puts more pressure on me and christie to
Have to win this veto ourselves.
"'Big brother" will inform us when the competition is to
Begin.
Good luck."
Like, of course, the one person I don't want to... Get, I
Get.
I know.
But-- it's all right.
This is how it's supposed to go.
It suction.
You're going to win-- I know I'm winning.
I wouldn't rely on a single person to win it for me.
Just so you know, nick is working with jackson and he has
Been.
He's been making deals with jackson since the very
Beginning.
Because he's a snake, and he's playing every single person this
This house.
I am telling you this because I know.
I'm just starting to piece a million things together about
Nick right now.
And nothing seems to be making sense, except for the fact they
Think he's working with michie and this sucks, because now I
Have to compete against him in this veto, and I don't want to
Have to compete against someone that's working with the person
Who wants me out.
You probably don't want to believe it, but like, the more
That I hear-- which is every day-- about nick, just makes
Sense.
Why do you think he's not up there on the block.
Right.
Let's say you were playing and you took me off, who would
He put up?
You don't think he would put up nick?
No.
Thru go.
They're working together.
The girls are expressing their paranoia about nick to me.
This is exactly what got them into trouble in the first place.
I don't know where this mistrust is coming from.
I'm going to go right to nick, look him in the eye, ask him
What's going on, and I'm going to trust that he's going to be
Honest with me.
We need to squash this thing before we play this veto.
Do you feel like you could tell me anything?
Yeah, what's up?
Did you make a deal with them?
Are you serious, bro?
I am.
It's bull...
Don't-- don't-- it's not a big deal.
What do you mean, dude?
I don't get why no one... Trusts me in this game.
I think it's both of them up.
Are, like, feeding each other.
So can I go ask hem?
No, don't.
I never questioned them.
I never questioned any of you guys.
So it's... That I get questioned all the... Time when I'm nothing
But transparent with everyone.
I'm sick of it, to be honest with you.
I'm honestly super pissed off right now.
I'm sick of being doubted by people I have been loyal to.
I honestly can't handle it anymore and I don't want to
Continue to go forward in this game with people who don't trust
Me as much as I trust them.
Why are you questioning me?
I'm not.
I'm not questioning you.
You are.
It is triangle that you are not on the block.
I also just think it's weird that you do have a deal with
Michie and holly.
That's bull... Too.
I've been super honest.
I'm not working with michie and hole.
That's why I feel like, I really did trust nick again.
Am I so stupid.
I mean, if you don't want to trust me-- I'm not-- I'm not
Asking you to trust me.
I'm actually starting to get upset.
Listen, I get it.
I'm upset, too.
Get it, but at the same time I've been nothing but
Transparent with both of you guys who I have been close with.
I'm not saying I don't trust you.
I'm not saying that.
But I am getting concerned and questioning, because at the end
Of the day, it does all make sense, whether it's true or not.
It just kind of adds up.
I get it from your guys' side why it works weird.
I swear-- just because I a good personal relationship with
Michie doesn't mean anything.
I don't know anything anymore.
.
I don't have any alliance with mickey and holly.
But the only way to dispel their doubts is to go out there, win
The veto, take sis off, and hope that whoever jackson puts up as
A replacement nominee goes home this year.
I swear, I I will go for the veto to prove my loyalty so you
Never have to question it.
Okay.
We'll see, I guess.
Hey.
System what it is.
It's just disappointing, you know?
I know.
≫> christie, I'm real.
I know.
You can always look at me and see home.
What?
You can always look at me and see home.
What?
You can always look at me and see home.
I don't, though!
Be strong.

"Welcome to b.b. Scuba camp.
Usly, this ocean's been in motion and causein' a commotion.
So your job is to put the sea life back in ambulance.
Here's how it works: take your ocean creatures to your deep
Sea structure one at a time.
Your goal is to place one creature on each tip so that all
Are balanced and not touching the ground.
Warning: one wrong move could send your creatures falling to
The ocean floor.
The first player to hang all their creatures off the ground
And hit their button will win the golden power of veto!"

I need to win this veto.
I don't really trust anyone that's playing in this comp

[ Horn blows ] nice, nick.
Looks like there's some turbulence in the ocean today.
You gu guys are flipin' fantastic.
Yeah, cliff.
Oh, that's doing a numbero my calf.
So the fact that christie and sis still don't trust me is
Annoying as hell.
I want to show them that I have their backs going forward in
This game so I have to win this veto competition so I can take
Off sis, and hopefully everyone that I'm working with gets to go
Into next week.
All right, that's good.
It looks like everyone is back with their sea creatures.
This week michie drew awe massive line in the sand between
Us and prime who we used to be aliewnd.
You really want to won this veto and keep noms the same because
If both of these girls end up stawg in the house, then I'm
Going to have my own friends coming after me.
My strategy going into this game is predetermine the weight
Of these creatures before you start playing them on my mobile.
Slow and steady is the approach I want to take with a little
Preplanning to start.
Oh, my god!
This competition is extremely frustrating.
I'm just having a lot of difficulty right now getting
Everything balanced.
Where did that other one go?
I'll get, luke, five or sux on, and then one falls off, and it's
Just a chain reaction.
Let's change gears here.
Let's go, guys!
It stink they say can't play in this veto, but I am praying
The person who wins it keeps the nominations the same.
I have didn't math, and if one of them comes down, it could
Spell bad news for nicole.
We can't have that.
As an engineer I feel like this competition is mine.
I just have to be very steady, very precise.
Oh, damn it!
Because one wrong move, and this whole deep sea structure could
Fall down.
You're doing great, focus.
I really want to win the veto, because I want to make
Sure that christie stawz on the block and keep the nominations
The same.
Gee!
This competition is turning out to be a lot tougher than I
Expected.
I'm using one hand to try to hold on to the sea creatures
That I've already balanced.
My other hand is trying add new sea creatures.
I haven't handled that many rods since the fishing trip with the
Guys to the gulf of mexico, you know, way before the wife.
Yo, this is hard.
Oh, no, no, no, no!
You guys got it.
Just breathe.
This thing is so heavy.
Oh, it's neck and neck between mickey and christie!
I've now figured out where these animals go.
It's just a matter of balancing them delicately and coming out
Of this with a victory so I can hint the buzzer and claim the
Veto.
No!
Just like that, my piece fall.
But I'm not going to quit.
I'm not going to roll over and die.
So it's time to grit my teeth, slow it down, and win this
Thing.
Even though all michie's sea creatures fell off, he is
Picking up his pace and getting right back on track.
So I need to keep my focus and not lose any momentum right now.
So I need to keep my focus and not lose any momentum right now.
Sorry, christie.
It's okay.
It's all right, chris.
Everyone keep grinding.
It's all right, christie.
Keep going, guys.
[ Bell rings ].
Yes!
[ Applause ] wow.
Congratulations, michie!
You have won the golden power of veto, baby!
Wooo!
So I'm not that good at puzzles but I'm good enough to
Pull out a veto win, and I did it when I needed it the most.
Christie is sitting on the block next to sis, and they ain't
Going anywhere, so it's time to follow through on this plan and
Send christie out the door.
Congrats, bro.
Thanks.
Congrats.
That was really hard.
Good job, everybody!
I'm so pissed right now.
Michie freaking won that veto and now I feel he's going to
Keep the noms the same and one of us is going to go home.
Very impressive, guys.
That was frustrating to watch.
Well deserved.
You did good.
I did my best, and that's all I have.
I gave it my %.
I lost.
Michie won fair and square, but I'm proud of the game they
Played.
Just disappointed, I guess.
But I'm okay.
I'm not giving up.
But...
I'm definitely feeling ciewnd of helpless at this point.
Running back and forth through the water is so much harder.
Hell of a job, michie.
Thank you, sir.
Good job.
Good job, everyone.
This has been a long time in the making.
I have been wanting to get christie out for a while.
Here she is.
I've got the key and I've got the veto, and she's sitting on

And I will stand by it.
I respect the effort, but I gave her that opportunity to
Play in the veto.
And I beat her.
And there's no part of me that feels like I owe her anything at
This point.
All I have slike, my word and my truth and, you know, that's
Really it.
We're going to be friends no matter what we can get out of
Here.
All right, y'all, it's time for the veto meeting.
All right, y'all, it's time for the veto meeting.
This is the veto meeting.
Christie and analyse have been nominated for eviction, but I
Have the power to veto one of the nominations.
I've decided...
Not to use the power of veto.
I picked both of you all for a reason.
And I have to follow through with it.
This veto meeting is adjourned.
The veto is not used.
It sucks.
Christie and I had dreams of sitting in the final two chairs,
And now it seems like I may have to let go of that dream.
And I hope that that doesn't hurt our friendship out of this
House.
I hope that she can understand that.
I don't want to go home.
I want to play this game.
I don't want mick tow have the satisfaction of sending me home.
I would love to stay and build my own army and take down the
Strong guys in this house.
But I don't really know.
Honestly.
So I won h.o.h., And sis and christie were put on the block.
I won the videotapeo and they're going to stay on the block.
Now it's out of my control in terms of who goes home.
It doesn't mean I'm not going to try.
I need to rally these votes and we can get christie out of the
House diswhroi who will be evicted from the "big brother"
House and sunday to the jury, sis or christie.
Find out tomorrow night live on "big brother"!
